JDM H22A fuel rail help

I just swapped in a fresh JDM H22a and I was in the process of switching over the fuel rail to a MR Gaskets one since the JDM fuel rail is on the opposite side of where our fuel line runs. I ran into two problems. 1st the EGR valve seems to be in the way. The fuel rail doesn't have enough room to sit flush the way it should. 2 the sensor comming directly out of the front part of the manifold seems to stick out to far. Now If I removed the EGR valve then I can finagle the Fuel rail into place. I see the EGR Valve has a sensor hooked up to it, so I am sure I have to retain it, right?

Also if this helps The JDM motor I have was from a AUTO-Matic. Now I don't think the manifold is diffrent from Manual to Auto , but I figured I'd let that be known.

Thanks in advance for the help.

You're better off going to a different Prelude forum for help. Here are two sites that I go to often for help.
