I'm in the process of doing this right now with used engines.  I'm
planning to use the AFM,  air boot, water pump, and thermostat from
the 1.9.  It also looks like I'll have to plug some holes on the 2.1
cylinder heads with some bolt-on covers from the 1.9.

There's still some stuff that I've gotta take off of the 2.1 before I
can attempt a drop-in.  Anyone done this swap recently and wanna give
me advice?

Regards,
Craig
