Knuckle/Hub Interchange

Knuckle/Hub Interchange
I've got a '93 CX hatch, and I've managed to trash my hub.
Firestone want $570 to replace the hub; $290 parts and $280 labor. I'm thinking I can nab a knuckle/hub assembly down at Pick 'n Pull and have Firestone put it in for far less than that. (They already have the car.)
Question is, what parts will fit my car? Poking around at Majestic Honda, it looks like I can even pull parts from sedans, and I just need to avoid EX models, presumably because of the ABS. Is that correct?
Is this a good strategy, or should I be pursuing another option?

Re: Knuckle/Hub Interchange
So, non-EX, basically?
Edit: Looking at Majestic, it appears that the knuckles on the 96-00 models are different from the knuckles used on the non-ABS 92-95 models. I can't actually find the hub itself on Majestic's site — not sure what section it's in — but wouldn't it be easier to just nab an entire compatible knuckle/hub assembly rather than trying to remove a (possibly) compatible hub from an incompatible knuckle? I'd be saving on parts versus buying new from Firestone, obviously, but wouldn't I still be looking at a ton of labor?
