Default Civic motor swap

OK, please dont flame me for what i am doing, but there are reasons. I have a 99 civic si. I am taking out the bad b16a2 engine, and replacing it with a SOHC 1.6 from a 99 civic ex. I have the whole car, and just need to know which motor mounts to use, and also what axles to use. Anything else i may need to know would be extremely helpful,

except for "what are you thinking..."

use the same mounts. you need a rear bracket from a 99-00 ex. i don't believe the b16 bracket will work. and you need 96-00 D series civic axles.

also the b16 header won't work. you need one from the SOHC.

don't forget the a/c bracket unless you already have it.

I tried the p2p ecu, but doesnt work right. there is still a harness coming from the dash side of the car, that was plugged into the old ecu, but there is no place for it on the new ecu.....Is there a difference between 98- and a 99?>
