Swap VVT into NA, or just pickup an NB2?

It looks like you've decided to part out your NA, take a break for a while and then plan on buying a NB2 next year. I hope it works out just as you have planned.
One thing I didn't see mentioned in all the pros/cons is emissions. If you plan on registering your car for the street, it is really nice to have an early NA because of no OBD-II. And depending on where you live, emissions inspections might be non-existent or at least easier to pass than later cars. Plus, older NA already are or soon will be eligible for "antique" status in many states. That often times comes with the added bonus of no emissions inspections at all. So you can modify to your heart's content.
