No you'll have to take the throttle body out before iac can be unbolted. It's a 2 minutes job. Just take out the 4 top bolts.
Regarding engine, it cost me around 20k. Transmission is my own. I took out the flywheel from old engine assembly and put it on the new one. Rest was bolt to bolt same. Installed genuine clutch and pressure plate set as well along with new clutch bearing, new flywheel bearing, new crank shaft seals and new gearbox axle seals. I'm still using stock ecu. No changes in wiring. Egr is disabled. The only things that i changed were fuel injectors and throttle body. I also changed the head gasket with a brand new one just to be on the safe side.
Although i can change the wiring too if i want to take advantage of the new vtec engine but currently not interested as on city roads it's fine as vtec is really useful only on long routes.
Fuel injectors and o2 sensors can be bought from me. My injectors are almost brand new, just have 5k miles on them. You'll love how the engine runs. Pm me for price.
