You'll have to swap the subframe and lower control arms as well from the 97.

You don't want an ek subframe, you will have to use the subframe, LCA's and LSA bushing from the ek, plus it's a lot bigger and heavier than one from an EK. Just find an EG (92-95) without power steering and use the subframe and the PS rack from that.

use a 92-95 civic subframe on a 92-95.

use a 96-00 civic subframe on a 96-00

And power steering vs manual subframes are different

you can use either or on the opposite chassis, but you need to use the LCA bushing and LCA's with the subframe that you use.

Just to clarify 96-00 power steering and non power steering subframes are the same
