Pre-1JZ drop in checklist

[nctexan]

Is the pump that connects directly to the hydrofan via the semi-hard line the water pump?

What connects to the larger diameter inlet on this same pump?

So if I am installing a cooler for the hydrofan where should it go (in relation to the fluid loop, I know the cooler itself can go inbetween the condenser and radiator).

just like it was said before, replace everything rubber. Definitely the clutch, Rear main seal, take a look at the harmonic balancer (replace the front main if removing the HB), vacuum lines, gaskets, and ensure everythingis sealed up & not leaking. It's easy to replace on an engine stand, but a true PITA in the car. Also, if you're running the twins & you want to run an aftermarket Y pipe / downpipe, swap it now. It sucks to do it on the stand, let alone IN the car.

What kind of wiring do you ask Aaron to do? Extend the harness to go thru the stock harness entrance?

+100 and don't forget to run new rubber for vacuum/boost lines, or silicone if you never want to worry.

Should ATF be used for the hydrofan, just like the power steering?

Yes!
