And according to Gil at OGTS the auto trans is apparently a good fit/set-up for the 2.2....does anyone have any experience with that set-up?
Is there anything else that I should start preparing for or expecting, as far as changes go? I really wanna have all my ducks in a row before I do this and get in to it unprepared or too naive.

Doesn't the 2.2 have the same external dimensions as the 1.9? If so then the swap will be a piece of cake. Even if it isn't, the differences are minimal. I can't see any difficulties.
I would do the swap in a heartbeat if I had access to the cash to buy the motor and had a car worth putting it in. The one I have deserves body work before an engine upgrade.
