Pulling a VVT engine for swap into my NA8

Definitely do your TB/WP. It's rubber. They just need to be replaced periodically like tires.
Existing clutch/flywheel can be re-used if it's still in good shape. Also inspect the pilot and throw-out bearings. Those usually need to be changed out.
On the exhaust, I'm pretty sure that all 1.8 heads (94-97, 99-00, 01-05) have the same exhaust port configuration. Whatever you had before should still bolt right up. Do an EGR delete if you can.

I think he's just trying to save money.

I'll do the tb/wp and check the clutch. I've actually never had a clutch wear out on me, but I've replaced 3 due to noisy throw out bearings. What a pain. Definitely doing the EGR delete as well when everything goes in.
Thanks for the help.

Never did get to the water pump and timing belt. Building a house right now - once I get moved that will probably be one of the first projects.
