I already have the

Engine mount hitting cast.

Trans tunnel clearance. I and at least one other that I know of didn't make enough room initially since the photos in the instruction aren't really that helpful.
Pretty sure there was only one person that had issues with the oil drain plug being too close to the sub-frame but worth checking on your initial install.
Oil pan flange had too much material where the A/C bracket wants to be.
Don't know how many others had issues but the calibration for the oil temp sensor was way off in the base map provided for the Haltech.
Hood to valve cover clearance. IF the webbing structure of the hood has let go of it's bonding agent then it pushes against the corner of the valve cover. I just ground away a notch in the webbing and moved on with my life. A better man would have glued it back.
There's a small bracket included with the wiring harness but no instructions on what it's for. Supposedly it's to help tidy up everything by the starter so I think that's worth figuring out and mentioning.
Gas gauge issues have been a current issue that I don't think will get fixed anytime soon. I still register a hair over a 1/4 tank with only 2 gallons left.
I'm sure there's something I'm missing but I think that covers most of it?
Rolled just over 1700 miles on my swap so far. Well worth it.
