1. Will I lose my a9lh on the source 3ds?
2 do I need to transfer the entire sd card content? (Because we all know that takes years to wirelessy transfer and I don't want to do that)

Thank you :P

1. No, you'll make a nand.bin backup that you can restore afterwards.
2. Yes, I'd recommend a USB 3.0 sd reader ;) - took me about an hour to copy a 64gb sd with USB 2.0 speeds

So if I don't make a back up before I'll lose it and I'll be stuck on the latest version?

And also I deleted everything to make it quicker so I only have about 2 gigs on my sd card

No. If you dont make a backup you could always re-inject FBI into the Health & safety app (because you'll already have hourglass9) but it would be just a waste of time when you could easily make a backup then restore it

Ill give you a quick rundown.

  • make nand.bin backup on source 3ds.
  • make backup of source 3ds sd card
  • inject dsiware hack & follow guide as usual
  • if prompted pick 'PC transfer'
  • take source sd card and put into target 3ds
  • continue guide as usual
When finished just restore the source sd card backup you made earlier and restore your source nand.bin

Both should be hacked now & then just wait a week to transfer back (so both will have working NNID's)
