Can anyone give me feed back I'm thinking of building this deck, but it's my first delver deck. Thanks.

Replace dissipate with {Vapor Snag} it's a staple for delver

Will do. Should I side board some dissipate's for cards I want exiled?

My suggestion would be..sideboard Delver. It sounds strange, but without Swords, he's inferior to other creatures (particularly {Restoration Angel} which interacts with Snappy and Geist). You don't have enough Instants/Sorceries to reliably flip him, and if you did, it would take away from the uniquness of the deck. Too many high cost spells to make him relevant.

A 3/2 flyer on turn 2 is the allure of Delver, but in Delver decks (which I pilot myself) the gameplan is completely oriented around having a greatly functional deck, and "hey, a 3/2 flier" to boot. After turn 3, Delver is easily dealt with, and really most decks can. I think most Delver players would say the same, but admittedly I've never played this deck.

Edit: while you can, {Gitaxian Probs} over {Think Twice}.

Maybe use {Druidic Satchel} to make delver's flip more reliable?
