throttle cable and brace needed for mpfi swap?

Exactly what the title says.
I read somewhere that I need the throttle cable off a Si and the manifold brace.
None of the How-tos I have seen say anything about this.

Also, instead of starting a new thread, I will ask now.
For a one inch drop, will I need new shocks or is this drop so little that I wont need new ones right away?

You don't NEED either of them but I would get them if I were you. You can reroute the DX throttle cable around the engine mount and to the throttle body, but the DX cable is like 20ft longer than the Si one. So get yoursellf both those things.

Thanks, I figured it was something that I didnt have to have but would make is much easier. All the how-tos show all the major stuff like wiring, but dont really tell much about stuff like this.
Anyway, hopefully I will be upgrading my STD thursday. I got the manifold and throttle body today.
I am still waiting on the ECU and distributor, and I am going to be really really pissed if they dont come in time.
I will be going to the track after I do and I will post the times I get.
