Agreed, stay away from the RB20 trans. It'll kill the resale if you ever try to sell the swap, and it limits you on power quite a bit compared to the RB25 trans. The front clip saves a little money on not having to buy a front mount, and generally ensures a complete setup, but the cost difference is quite a bit more. I would just go Greddy-knockoff intake mani and front mount like I outlined in my price list.

Agreed again, LS-series swaps are getting cheaper, but you still need $8k or so, and they're generally higher-mileage motors than the imported ones.
