Front Clip VS. Motor Set - SR20DET

I was about to order a front clip from Phase2 and pick it up when we go down for FD in April - and got to thinking about how much of a waste it'd be. I really want to upgrade a lot of stuff which with leave me with A LOT of OEM parts unused. I was wondering/thinking it'd be nice I have a list of pros as cons to both - if anyone wants to pitch in there 2 cents. I'm trying to gather a parts list of what all would be required still if I go motor set only.

Radiator, fans, hoses
Fuel lines
Heater core hoses
Intercooler, piping, hot pipe and intake
Vac lines

I'm going to be replacing vac lines an belts either way, and heater core lines need to be switched for lhd anyways. Turbo lines and water outlet switched to s14 and braided. Is there anything else that's required from the clip? I feel like I'd spend less money to buy the motor and upgrades VS buy clip and upgrades over time.
