Okay as far as the 99si motor mounts yeah you can use those but need to change the post mounts on the motor.

the fan switch wiring will also have to be extended to the back of the block from the thermostat housing from your original motor. You'll also need to change from 3 wire to 2 wire IACV if his car is anything other than a 5 speed EX. Honestly if you are going to all that trouble it might be better to change to OBD1 instead of OBD2. You'll be dealing with less sensors (2nd O2, CKF which the LS motor you have doesn't even have, emissions pieces) and if he wants to tune it later it'll be easier.
