So everything is hooked up in my b16a2 which i swapped into my 93 ex coupe except a hose that comes off of the thermostat housing (plugged) i guess it hooks into the bottom of where the oil filter is but my oil filter "housing" is bit different than my friends and he too has the same engine...
another hose thats attached to a black can that sits on the firewall is plugged and i guess that one goes to the top of the intake mani..(FITV im assuming)

I just wanted to know if having these hoses un plugged would cause thwe engine not to start.. and if any of this doesnt sound right PLEASE let me know!

thank you

It's been a while but the black can...I think is your charcoal canister? If so, I know people eliminate that but it's not necessarily street/smog legal for some states. As for the hose, I can't be 100% without seeing it but it sounds like it's the oil cooler line. Again if so, it's not necessary if the corresponding end is plugged as well.

Hope someone else can chime in and confirm...

According to this (In the FAQ)

It's straight plug and play but just to be sure I'd verify the VTEC related wires match up correctly from the chassis harness plug to the engine harness plug.
