High port to low port swap, wiring harness?

Hey Martin.  We're looking at a straight SR20DE swap, no VE, no Turbo.  Are you saying with any Low Port swap that we'd need to keep the High Port distributor parts and swap those over?  I don't think I had come across that tidbit before.

Other than moving sensors and such over, and maybe undoing a few zip ties to free up cable slack, should this work?
