mounts for a B series in a Del Sol
So, I hit the wall on our swap. We purchased Yonaka mounts specified for the B series in the Del Sol, along with the Integra T-bracket and nothing lines up.
The driver's side was three bolt, which we knew going in, and assumed that we could use the stock mount, which appears to be the only one that actually lines up with the engine. The rear mount was too wide to fit into the Integra T-bracket and we had to trim the rubber on the sides only to find that it's ofset about half and inch or so and won't line up. And the passenger's mount don't line up (they're close), but if they did connect, the engine appears to sit too high in the compartment. Plus on the passanger's side there is a spacer welded to the back that would make the engine sit crooked in the bay (the mount bolts on the trans look to be level with each other). I have to assume that we've gotten the wrong mounts.
Can anyone provide direction to what would be the proper mounts to use with a B16B in a 94 Del Sol type S. Del Sol was originally an automatic and the Swap includes a manual transmission.
I'm reading in some places that the passenger mount baracket in the car may actually be different based on whether the original set up was manual or automatic, is that accurate? Seems crazy that Honda would have to manufacture two different firewall arrangements for each model.

Re: mounts for a B series in a Del Sol
According to hasport all EG's share the same mounts with Del Sols (which makes since since you can bolt a eg6 front to them), and yes as a fellow auto owner you do need the conversion mount. I will provide links below
