^******* Epic.
OP, I am in a similar boat. Going to put in a 6 speed just because. And so I am accumulating parts to do while I am in there.
1) Reroute - I went with the baller BEGI spacer, then the Kia neck and all that.
2) Timing belt and water pump. I think mine is at 150K. Its like 110 in parts, why not.
3) (Post 95 only, so not your gig, but still....) Actual oil pressure sender rather than the on-off switch. Moding my existing gauge.
4) Clutch and flywheel - really want to go with Supermiata 1.8, but we shall see what the availability is. Since this 6 speed is heavily used I'm putting it in, driving it for a bit, then taking it back out to rebuild with some more knowledge of what's wrong with it. So I can wait on the clutch personally.
5) Engine mounts, going with the MazdaSpeed ones like everyone else.
6) Brake stuff too, but that's not really an engine-out thing.
7) Clutch line, so that its easier to pull the engine next time.
Already pulled the PS, AC, and Cruise, so that's all set.

...and I don't have PS or cruise...
...but I'm ADDING AC.
I want a sophisticated street machine with some poke, and I like being comfortable (that's why I'll also install a bypass valve system on the heater core).
Thanks for the thoughts.
