I am very very familiar with this deck and have played it a lot. My advice comes from experience.
Wall of Omens is very good.
Vendilion Clique never works out well. It is basically the only real target in the deck, as your Restoration Angel has two of the most important stats in modern (4 toughness and cmc greater than 3), so its not going to be removed except by hard removal. Every other removal spell that anyone has is immediately directed toward clique. It's a great card, but it never sticks so all it does is provide information for 3 mana. I run one, but I'm considering dropping it. I would not run more than that.
Geist of Saint Traft is sweet, but as a 1-of hes not fantastic. You should decide whether you want a geist deck or a kiki-combo deck. With only one geist, its not often that he will be played on turn 3, which mitigates a large amount of his appeal. Sure, he's great, but not as powerful in the late game where there are potential blockers. Late game I'd rather draw into another kiki and just win.
Celestial Colonnade is the best man-land in modern. I would run at least 3.
Desolate Lighthouse is something to consider. It lets you dig for the combo or just find some bullets in the plethora of land that you are bound to draw at some point.
Electrolyze is awesome. It is bad in the sideboard. What would you board it in against? small agro decks? Then you board in Anger of the Gods.
Lightning Helix is also great but bad in the board. If you are siding it in against burn, side in Kor Firewalker or Timely Reinforcements or something.
Counterflux is great in the board.
Remand is good, but I wouldn't run so many, as it really is just a stall card, and in the late game its power drops dramatically, as the spells are just replayed. Maybe take two out for some Electrolyze??
Sorry that I rambled a bit, if you want to take a look at my opinions you can check out my deck Kiki-Control

seemed kind of bland until i realized that Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Restoration Angel make an infinite combo. wish there were more decks that did this; you should put this in the combos section.
