Replacing 2002 Acura TL-S blown motor questions

The current motor is dead and I have a new motor to replace it. Before doing the switch I wanted to ask for any recommendations people may have that will save me time and hassle's down the road. The new motor going in has 61k on it.

Put a new timing kit on with water pump. Take careful note of hose routing.

I recently purchased an 03 TLS with a blown motor and the motor swap that was completed Friday went fairly smooth. Very excited to be apart of the group.
