Purchasing a SR20DET clip

[B-spec]

Finally saved up enough to get my project started. Looking to pick up a redtop front clip from japan star in Albany, NY. I will be renting a full size pickup and trailer to retrieve the clip. I would just like to make sure I have the correct steps before purchasing the clip. I will def give the clip a visual inspection to ensure its condition, and that it contains all of the correct parts. Also have a compression test, and leak down if possible there on site. If they can start the clip as well I am sure that will be ideal.
Anything other tips, or items I should look out for prior to inspecting the engine, and purchasing?
