If you just swap in the 2.0 shortblock nothing needs to be changed.  You 
need to transfer over some stuff from
the old one, but that's easy.  the only thing I had to do on mine was 
remove one alignment dowel on the block
because there spacing is different on the 2.0.  Theoretically you could get 
by with a new headgasket, valve cover
gasket, and timing belt, but there are a lot of other things that really 
should be changed while the motor is out.
