Differences between manga and anime thread

No this will not be a "this version of Conan is better" topic. I'm just interested in seeing how many things were added/deleted/changed in the anime.
First of all there's the obvious examples of episodes 5 and 13 that we know about. Episode 5 changed the return of Gin and Vodka to guys who just kind of looked like them. Thus, we never know how Conan learned Gin and Vodka's names.
In the manga version in 13, Miyano Akemi dies because of Gin and Vodka, who were again erased in the anime version of the episode (btw: what could have possibly been the logic for that? I can't think of a reason). However, she survives in the anime version. So, of course she had to die in the series. So they did it right before Haibara's introduction. This, of course makes one of Conan's lines in that awesome episode really odd (something about how it was a case he had forgotten about). However, considering how cases are rarely directly connected to each other (non-linear plot is how I've heard it described, which is probably a better description), that's fine.
The only other truly huge changes in the anime involve episode 4, which gets rid of most of the first chapter of that case and other parts of it as well. It wasn't really important but it makes the case itself much better. They redid part of it in movie 4, which is nice.
They got rid of some minor things in episode 15 and episode 7 at the beginning of both of those cases (maybe someone didn't like the idea of 2 part cases at that point, and they had to get rid of something to make it one episode?)
There are a few minor changes in the first three episodes but it doesn't matter outside of the fact that we'll never see the full "Conan gets the crap beat out of him" scene in the anime. I'm sure that has to do with censorship (the case was done pretty well outside of that, so maybe time was a reason as well)
Also, Ran saying she should be the one crying in that case where someone pretended to be Shinichi's girlfriend was made fun of in the Night Baron case in the manga, which was pretty funny. But since they were over 50 episodes apart in the anime, it obviously wasn't mentioned.
One last one I can remember now: They switched when Sanada Kazumi is introduced. Him being introduced in as the fake Kaito Kid made him more memorable, as he did almost nothing in 96. (but we were given a reminder of him being fake Kaito Kid in the anime version)
