What to do while UIM is off?

As the title says. I am waiting for some parts to come in before I put my car back together. Any suggestions on what I should do since the UIM is off?

I have already done the following:
-replaced fuel lines
-replaced all vac lines with silicon hoses
-replaced coolant hoses
-used new screw type hose clamps
-checked injectors
-have new orings and grommets for injectors coming
That's all I can think of right now.

Any suggestions welcome.

I think I'll save that for another time but thanks for the suggestion.

I already did this by sanding the ring connector as well as the surfaces where it meets on the engine. I suppose I should add an extra ground as well.

Since my car will be down for a few days we might. I'm still at home and won't be back til 6:30 so if you want to pull your tb too we could do it. I already pulled off my OMP and ACV so I dont really have anything to do other than install the SAFC and porting or polishing. Do you have any JB weld, I ran out. Call me if anything.
