+1 with Fairtax, 9 times out of 10 it's tire balance, tire pressures, or inner tie rod end. Most likely not the rack. Sometimes the tie rod end won't make a sound. But jack up the front end and shake the wheel from side to side, that's where you will feel the play on a tie rod end. If you feel anything loose, have a friend shake the wheel for you and at the same time put your hand on the inner tie rod. Then you can feel the play through the tie rod.

Excessive crap in air filter...

Probably the PCV valve, clean it up, and make sure it works (shake it and see if you hear the valve inside). -
Well, considering everything you have changed out, and checked already. Since it's easy enough to do on a 2.2. I'd run a compression test next and see what you get. And check the voltage while the car is running. Should have about 13.5 at idle, rev it up a little and make sure it doesn't go above 14.8 or so. Subaru's are funny when they don't get the right voltage.

On aftermarket pads it's real common to have to file down the edges a bit to make them fit (Provided these are the correct pads and match your old ones). You never want to just force them in, that's how brakes wear incorrectly. The pads need to be able to move. File down the ears till they slide nicely in the holder. Then you'll be in good shape. We use a lot of brake pads from NAPA, I have to do it almost every day, no big deal.

no spark?

Usually an alarm just kills the starter. I know you said you hooked everything up. But you double checked the cam and crank sensors are plugged in correctly? There isn't a whole lot that will stop the spark. Also, if you have a code reader (I think everyone that has a subaru damn well should), check for codes, easy stuff first. -
dropped a nut into my bell housing :(

Cougar, I just have to say, that's a pretty damn cool idea! -
outer tie rod

Def mark the threads with some kind of paint first. I always loosen the jam nut before hand because you don't need to try and hold the tie rod end then. It's a bit easier. It's a 19 for the jam nut, unless its an aftermarket one, then it could be a 22. And a 19 for the nut on top of the end. Once you take the top nut off, hit the part of the hub that the tie rod goes through with a good hammer (4lb works perfect, anything smaller is a waste of time) A couple good swings and it will fall right out.
