No need to fit the pas setup although your need a new lower alternator bracket for the tensioner for the belt.
Not tempted to have PAS though?
Other than that, thats all the problems i can think of atm.
Time-scale, If you need the car, it will take longer, something always comes up! Budget 2 weeks to iron out any problems, but the whole engine out/loom out and back in could be done in 3 days imo.
