Default LS motor in EK hatch 98.

Okay I have searched this and people gave seriously a mix of answers so I cannot figure out who is right. I want to put a 98 b18b1 motor into my 98 ek.

Some people say I can reuse stock mounts and use B-series AC bracket, front tranny mount and back tranny mount.

I have a cx and don't need ac so would I still need that bracket.?
either way Im still confused because of extremely mixxed answers from people.

I know this bseries swap is done all the time. Im planning to buy the least amount of mounts, and brackets required, so what would I need? mount wise.

In for the answer, I'll be putting a LS/Vtec in my cx. I was planning on buying the hasport mounts, + I have a B16 cable trans the ys1.

You can re-use all of your stock mounts, however, you will need the rear "T" bracket from a 1999-2000 SI (or SIR in Canada), and the timing belt side motor mount bracket of of 1999-2000 SI (or SIR in Canada).

Yes, i found them online. I cant remember the name of the site though. You can also buy from the dealership. Not sure of the part numbers off the top of my head.

EDIT: Found the site http://www.swapshopracing.com/contents/en-us/d592.html
