Just be careful with the VCT as there might not be enough oil pressure at idle. For example, the SR20 requires a minimum of 21.8psi/inHg for VCT Engagement. Any less and you might throw the rockers as the VCT will be rocking back and forth without enough oil pressure!

It's far safer to drill the sump than the block for someone doing it at home. Sump is far easier to replace if something goes wrong! Also we installed it as high as possible in the sump, above the windage tray which is all that's required to allow for drainage as well as to relieve pressure from crank case gasses.
