Yah I know theres other thing to do, but I do one thing at a time. I have already had it submurged over the hood and it went through fine. As soon as I got out of the hole I checked my air filter, and it was dry, I was shocked as hell (since the water was nearly window high) but decided I really need a snorkle for some of the driving I do, most of the other parts can take a little water for a couple seconds, but once you suck that water in your done. Do you know all that would need to be waterproofed? I don't really know what all needs to be done, but I know its a lot.
