gonna be hard to get an idle stabilizer or ign control unit on a 2.1..
they're incorporated into the ecu.

but yeah...if you already own a 2.1 vanagon ..
it's logical to ask for everything you can get that might come with the
engine that fits on Michael's van.
The guy won't be using many of the hoses for example.

it's great that it includes the ecu harness..
oh...............OK..here is one that "maybe' has been overlooked..
the idle control unit, behind the right tail light ...it 'should' be
attached to the ecu harness,  or go with it. ..
He won't need it for his Zetec conversion ...so make sure you get that part.
They are somewhat rare and valuable.
