just get them and when you find out if they dont suit your liking return them they have a 14 day return policy.... so if it fits its good if not send it back

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

i called autozone and they told me they have the lower d/s mount and their computers dont show anything for a lower p/s mount and also the comp didnt show anything for a rear mount bracket

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.

you would just need to re-use your torque mounts

Re: B swap into a 97civic ex
-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.
