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.

Do the TB Mod, remove the rats nest, block off EVERYTHING, etc..

BTW, how long does it take to polish with airtools? I'v been polishing **** with a dremel and it sucks..

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.
