Ic2 with TE?

[M.A.Ndog]

I'm well aware that Thermal Expansion aleady replaces a lot of what Industrial craft 2 does and essentially does it better, but I'm building a modpack for the first time and I was wondering if there are any ways to combine them in interesting ways. That and I need to find the right builds for both so I don't screw up the game entirely.

I'm probably considering anyone who has been here for a while has already seen like threads like these and has gotten tired of them, so I'm going to apologize ahead of time, sorry.
