The car is running and officially driving, though hardly tuned. Took it for 5 miles in stop and go traffic, full sun, Atlanta summer heat @ 96f. Essentially untuned. No drama. Posts to follow on how I arrived at this drive.

Created a new dipstick/tube and water pump mixing manifold. Had to move the dipstick forward to make room for the wastegate dump pipe. The wp manifold makes a 90 and runs directly over the AC compressor to avoid the AC compressor belt/tensioner.

Used a Volvo cooling fan circuit/relay with a fat ballast resistor to run my Spal 16" 2800cfm fan a two speeds- low for engine cooling and high for engine cooling + AC. FWIW I picked up two of these volvo fans (swept blade 16" 3000cfm Seimens) with full wiring harness including relays at pull-a-part for <$40 US. Unfortunately the volvo fan is just too thick to fit in the Miata engine bay without rearranging the sway bar mounts.
