All good advise.
Since you are circulating the water, it's going to take a bit longer to get up to temp. On the first warmup, you can leave the WP off for a while too. Just make sure to turn it on later!!!
Keep an eye on the oil while getting used to running this deal. You will go through a lot of plugs and oil at first!
You don't mention the support systems. Having a fuel tank above the pump will help with the prime.
Having an evacuation system will help with milking the oil, but just idling probably won't pull enough fumes.
Keep track of fuel usage too, even if you have an O2. My buddy with a small block and a carb runs right around 4.9-5.1 down the track. Alky is more forgiving than gas, but you are starting from the right side (rich).
