Hm. I'm going to be water proofing my wiring soon. I'm chopping large sections out of my wiring harness, I removed alot of un-needed stuff for my engine when it was on the engine stand. A/C and Emissions? Who needs that. But i'll tell you how it goes once I submerge the truck. 
I'll be sure to let everyone know where I went wrong or what worked well.
Truckin- My buddy put his blazer in a river testing out his snorkle awhile back as you heard, sucked in some water. Flushed out the engine with diesle and used oil a couple times then put new oil in it. Works fine. Just though i'd mention that regarding your sucking water into the intake thing.
I did notice a capped hole on my distributor cap. I'll do some water proofing and test it out.

My truck didn't have AC, but it had the wiring for it. The truck that my engine came out of had A/C so I just put the pulley on without the A/C pump. And every bit of emissions is now gone. So i'm chopping all the wires off for it.
( And yes, everything works.. )
Most of the time in Washington it is below 60 degrees. And in the summer time the hottest it ever really gets is like 90 degrees, in which case I roll down my windows. :P

what did you forget to silicone the air filter? just smear the entire air filter with silicone haha, that sucks, but good excuse for a fresh motor though. I have been seriously thinking about running my air intake into the cab because in minnesota it is illegal to have a snorkel, but I think I would get tired of listening to it moving air all the time, and in northern minnesota I would have to retain my heater haha

I would NOT recomend this anyone, I got lucky and didn't blow the engine (unlike Don there). But I personally think the filter save my engine.

ask the Department of natural resources, you actually can but it has to be within six inches of factory intake location so alot of help that is, for special events and DNR off road parks they are legal but on public streets and private property (where I wheel mostly) they can only be within six inches of factory
