Swapping in AWM block w/ AEB head, also manual trans swap

[Spectre1130]

Day one of my build. I have a 1997 A4 Quattro. I hope to make a nice work log of this all. I'm pulling out my AEB motor and auto tranny and replacing it with an AWM block with my AEB head. Also switching my transmission to manual. I have the block bored .5mm over and am going to use supertech pistons with my AEB rods on an auto AWM crank.

The first day involved the paint for the block, and starting to put the accessories and pulleys on the block. I got stopped very fast unfortunately because I forgot to grab alot of the bolts from the junkyard when I pulled the motor. I also grabbed the wrong bracket, I got the bracket for the transverse AWM, not the longitudinal. And the biggest frustration was I forgot to get new Main Bearing Bolts. I've never re-used these bolts in previous engine builds, but has anyone else ever done it and had no problems. I don't mind paying for them, but I am needing to build this in 15 days (transferring duty stations) and waiting another 4-7 days for the bolts to be shipped is really going to slow me down. I called into the Audi dealership hoping I could buy some from them if they were in stock, which makes me ask do the 2.0 and 1.8t have the same main bearing bolts?

Hopefully tomorrow goes alot better. I have taken more productive poops.
