it cannonly save you money in the long run. im happy with my ACT clutch, but my friend has a spoon clutch on his b16 and lvoes it.

Yes do it, do you know how much it cost to replace a clutch once the engine is already in the car. Close to $600 for just a stock replacement. now is the best time. I'd resurface the flywheel as well, or have you thought about a light weight flywheel since your going all motor? I hope they're changing out other stuff on the engine as well, like the timing belt($300 to replace if the engine is already in the car), water pump(same), etc.

would it be best to get a honda timing belt and water pump?

can't beat OEM quality, so I'd say yes, doesn't matter that much though.
