To swap or not to swap, Got my 3rd gen 3S-GTE Options

[Negative]

Ok so I now have my Caldina clip sitting at my house and I was so excited at first but now I'm having second thoughts. I can't find anyone in Houston that I think can actually do the job correctly and I don't want to spend 2 weeks in Florida so that Hux racing can do the swap.
I am one of the founders of the Houston Toyota Club which has around 100 members but I worry that we will be able to get the job done or will I end up with my car messed up and driving my POS daily driver - 92 FORD Exploder.
Also I only paid $1500 for my clip because I found it locally and the clip shop had no idea what they had - naturally I jumped the gun without thinking and just bought the clip. Now I have offers to sell the clip for $3000+ and I am really hung on my descision.
If you look at my profile you will see that I have been modding the car with the intention of swapping and I have tried to build th car intelligently towards that end. Hell I even bought the car (traded my '95 for it) specifically to swap. It would be my dream car and I have no doubts I would keep it forever but why am I feeling so jittery about it? is this normal for people who start the swap?
Has anyone on here actually completed a swap from a Caldina? How did the wiring go?
opinions?

i know how u feel. before my swap, i had like 10people they will help me swap, and when the day came they all bailed and i was stuck working on it all alone, with that same feeling in my stomach.. ... its one thing to say "be unique, get a caldina clip and swap it in" and its another thing to do it.

i also got really lucky because 2 members (manny and jeff) really went out of their way to come over and give me a hand during the swap... thanks again guys!

check all the motor mounts on the clip to make 100% sure all that stuff is in the same place. and again, figure out how u will wire everything up before u start swaping...that can make or beak you in the end.
