ok. nearing the end of my 2.0L swap experience. a couple of things that 
don't have homes:

1. ground cable from battery. i planned on replacing it, so i didn't note 
where it went exactly. i want to say the bolt that holds the pass. mount 
bracket to the tranny??

It goes from the -ve terminal to a spot just underneath the battery tray to one of the big bolts that hold the trans to the engine.  When I did my swap I replaced the -ve battery cable and did not attach the cable to the spot under the battery tray and bolted the cable to the back of the block.  I have had no problems.  Just make sure that the connections are good and clean (good idea to use a conductivity enhancer/goo that you can get at any auto parts store).  I also have extra grounds from the alternator to the -ve battery post, and from -ve battery post to the bolt that holds the coil to the firewall.  She fires up quick every time.

2. big red cable from alternator. i think it bolts to the same post on the 
starter as the pos. cable from the battery?

Yes


3. little a/c hose holder. a little c clamp type thing that the a/c hoses 
clip into on their way around the coolant hose. somewhere near the 
alternator, but where?

If I remember correctly it connects to the bolts/nuts that hold the upper intake manifold to the lower intake manifold.


4. coolant hose from the head to the bottom of the coolant res. yeah, i know 
where it should go, but where did i put that sob? can i just find the right 
size pep boy hose? it looks to be a different diameter at the head than at 
the coolant res though.

Dunno about that, but there is no reason you could fab something using 2 different pieces of hose and a reducer.
