Almost ready for rebuild swap/t-78

Ok, I'll start off by listing what I have, and what I still need to buy for my set up. I'm trying to make this rebuild swap/single conversion as smooth as possible. I will be doing this swap after I return from a upcomming deployment. The single set up will be made to run off of pump gas.

What I have:
-Rebuilt engine with new rotor housings and carbon steel apex seals and ceramic coated exhaust ports with plugs removed. Also has large street port.

-Apex'i PFC w/ commander

-Peakboost VMIC kit with modified Koyo rad and hoses for the set up

-used GReddy T-78 kit just missing oil feed line and some other part that Rotary Performance is helping me get.

-GReddy throttle elbow

-Apex'i AVC-R boost controller

-CJ motorsports fuel kit w/ pressure regulator

-CJ motorsports dual fuel pump holder

-two Bosch 044 pumps

-Exedy twin plate clutch kit and the bearings it didn't come with, and a counter weight

-Greddy type-R bov

-new alluminuml AST

-Apex'i turbo timer and harness

-RE Amemiya wheels 17x8.5F+42, 17x9.5R+42

What I still need to buy:

-Fuel pump relay (found out I needed it after a bit of research)

-new 550cc and 1600cc both topfeed

-emissions block off plates

-the stuff I listed above with GReddy turbo kit

-air pump removal pulley set

-custom piping from turbo to throttle elbow

-maintenance stuff; oil, plugs, wires, new water pump, fuel filter, gaskets, etc

What else is planned:
-Removal of all emissions

-Removal of A/C

I think that just about covers all of it. I know I'm gonna need some kind of differential upgrade in the future, would any reputable LSD suffice. I'm planning for a Cusco 1.5 or something of the like. So until i get the diff upgraded I'm not going to use my nice wide wheels. I'd rather burn rubber than shatter my pumpkin. Any suggestions about what else I may need to consider upgrading or replacing would be appreciated. I hope I provided enough info

The car in it's current state has just a GReddy intake (I'll sell it later), SS Auto Chrome DP (which held up quite well). RP resonated MP, and RE Amemiya exhaust.
