SC Job

Hey, I know this has been posted, but I can't find it for the life of me. Anyone have a link or even just a list of things I should do while doing the SC?

Current list:
WMW Wires
Mishimoto Hose Kit
WayMotorWorks Ported SC with 15% pulley
Waterpump Flange/Hose
SC Inlet/Outlet Gaskets
15% Belt
WMW Tensioner Stop
A/C Delete
Detroit Tuned bypass valve
Water pump
NGK Iridium Sparks Heat 5

Any other thoughts?
Also, what kind of oil for the SC?
Thoughts on coolant as well?
Miles on my mini 127k.

Here's a little list I compiled for doing the SC on my son's '04 MCS. Those are OEM part numbers in case you want to cross-reference to an aftermarket part.

1 Coolant -*82140031133
1 Dipstick O-Ring -*11437514980
1 Oil Pan Gasket -*11131487221
1 Supercharger Belt Tensioner -*11288620210
1 Supercharger Inlet Gasket -*11610020836
1 Supercharger Outlet Gasket -*17511520044
1 Supercharger Tube Clip - WMW
1 Thermostat and Gasket -*11537596787
1 Thermostat Housing -*11537512733
1 Throttle Body Gasket -*13547509045
1 Water Pump -*11517520123
1 Water Pump Flange -*11517509170
1 Water Pump O-Ring -*11517509186
2 Supercharger Oil -*12345982
The SC oil is the standard AC Delco supercharger oil.

You may consider changing the crankshaft pulley if you're unsure of the mileage on it. I bought this one in lieu of the ATI and was worried about going with a solid and definitely wasn't going to go OEM. It seems to be built nearly identical to the ATI but a better price.

Last weekend, my son and I removed and replaced his S/C. It was actually quite easy to do. It just takes a bit of time. Everything you can do to have stuff on hand will make it that much easier.

As for the S/C, I recommend maybe having a third bottle on hand in case you make a mistake. The waterpump end of the S/C calls for 2 ounces (sounds light but) and the pulley end calls for 6 ounces. The S/C bottles are 4oz each.
