Default Engine swap need help

Hey guys I'm new to this so please bear with me I'm trying to find out something
I have a 98 civic hb with the factory engine in it and I want to take the engine and put it in a 99 civic 4 door I know from 96 to 98 and 99 to 00 it's obd2a and obd2b or something like that

So my question is what would I need to do to make it run the swap should be easy it's the obd2a and obd2b is what I don't know what I would need if the plugs don't match.


Any help would be great thanks

as far as I know without searching, you just have to reuse the electrical stuff from the 99 on the 98. I dont think its really that big a deal.

Use the manifolds , distributor, etc from the obd of the car getting the swap as said above
It's easier to swap the motors obd than the cars to me

what was said still applies. Everything else will just be a swap over, you need the other parts or a harness swap.
