it fits b and d series purely becuase they are only the d/s and p/s top mounts and the central rear engine/tranny rubber mount, if you swapping a b-series in, you still need the lower d/s and p/s from your USDM 99-00 SI (or any UKDM/JDM 96-00 EK4/JDM 96-00 EK9) along with the central rear mount "bracket" from the same civic as well

if you run hasport/innovative/etc mounts, you dont need the lower torque mounts.

you still need to run torque mounts whether you run aftermarket mounts or not.
it will keep the engine from torquing and it is a safety isssue as well.
it keeps the engine from going into the passenger compartment in the event of an accident.

those mounts will work along with a 99-00 SI rear engine bracket
you would just need to re-use your torque mounts

B-series automatic in an EK just isn't gonna happen. You're gonna end up with a mess.

-there are no automatic mounts to swap a B-series in an EK, so you'll have to fab something up on your own
-You have to cut the frame rail to get the transmission case to even fit.
-There isn't a proper ECU out there to allow this to happen, and there isn't anything you can really do about it either. Some may suggest using an OBD1 JDM SiR-G automatic tranny, TCM and ECU. However the JDM automatic P72 uses an OBD2 style eprom, so you can't chip it to run a B20, leaving you 100% screwed unless you want to run an LS tranny, TCM and ECU, at which point its gonna be geared long, still require a ton of fabrication. The only thing I can think of that may work is a JDM automatic OBD1 B16A ECU which i'm told doesn't use a TCM. Oh, and that integra TCM is about 40 wires to run as well. Its far, far easier to simply swap a manual in there which will actually work right.

Just so no one thinks i'm completely nuts about the Automatic P72 using an OBD2 style eprom, observe.



Edit, I dug this up, observe --> https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/honda-gsr-swap-getting-pita-2364737/

I know he was trying to do a GS-R swap, but everything still applies to you.
