Being pedantic, but Max Continuous Thrust is set at the commencement of the fourth segment, i.e. following final flap and slat retraction during the third.
Because the simulator is unlikely to have 'zero flight time' approval, it is probable that you will have to complete a base exercise in the real deal before qualifying for the type rating. If so, be very careful about any OEI stuff close to V speeds for light weights, given that the bird will likely be very light for training. Prudent flight instructors will use 'canned' V speeds that are higher than actual minimums and will use max derated thrust at all times. Also, hopefully, they will feed in any simulated engine failure by slowly reducing thrust. I repeat, if that happens do not use a boot-full of rudder and never, ever kick it. It is extremely powerful; enough to rip the tail off an old airframe. Rudder responds quite adequately to a gradual but firm increase in pressure - 'squeeze' it while simultaneously holding wings level and setting the pitch attitude for V2 to V2 plus 10. At training weights it is more likely to already be at V2 plus 10 or even plus 20 by the time the failure is recognised. If it is performing OK at that speed (it will be), stay with it - don't go hauling the nose up to come back to V2.
The Jurassic is a great thing to fly; the nicest of the 737 series, and with the lack of automatics you really feel involved with it.
Last question - some -200s were gravel kitted. Later Classics were not.
