The only way to truly know is to remove the tranny and split the case, then start counting teeth on the FD, gears, etc. and do the math.
A bootleg way would be to find someone else with an Integra LS or known LS tranny in his/her car and make sure you both have the same exact wheel/tire size, then do some side-by-side cruising in different gears and see if the rpm matches up.
