looks like the car was an automatic - you need to move the bracket on the crossmember to the other set of holes for the manual

remove the other 2 bolts then hit the mount and knock it sideways and you can access the rear bolt. or use 2 swivel joints and an extension and you can get at it.

you need 88-89 (not 86-87) Integra distributor - the A1 and DX distributor connectors are identical - if you haven't already swapped connectors, just leave the DX connector which plugs right in - run/extend wire from ECU pin C1 to the blue/green wire on the Cylinder Sensor - run/extend wire from ECU pin C2 to the blue/yellow wire on the Cylinder Sensor - use the 88-89 Integra PG7 ECU - don't try to use 86-87 Integra PG7 ECU - it won't work

please let me know how this works out. Theres this exact setup for sale but the guy put the motor in ran some wires and he's got no spark. I'm very interested on the specifics of this swap in relation to the wiring,
