Default 00 gsr motor into 98 HX coupe, 98 HX motor into 92 vx hatch, questions about wiring and mounts!!

ok, here is what is going on: I used to have a 92 civic vx hatch as my daily driver(has a 00 gsr motor in is right now) i bought a 1998 civic HX coupe, all stock for my new daily driver. I was selling my hatch with the gsr, but no takers, so i want to put the gsr motor into my 98 coupe. And put the 98 hx motor into my hatch and sell the hatch with the sohc vtec-e motor for $3000. here are my questions:
1. MOUNTS: I know i need a rear, and a drivers side mount from a 99 si, and a del sol bracket to keep a/c, and a gsr PS pump to keep PS. But what mounts will i need to put the hx motor into my hatch? DO i just need rear, passener, and drivers mounts off a 92 vx, and then a different wiring harness, and a obd-1 ecu?
2. WIRING. ok, and now for wiring. the 00 gsr motor is obd-2b, and my car is obd-2a. I will be using a conversion harness and running a obd-1 ecu(long story, its not all a 00 motor, block it 95, so it doesn't have all the obd-2 sensors, but im still running obd-2 harness, injectors, dizzy.....ect) How will the wiring harness connect on the passenger side under the hood? Do i just reuse my HX wiring harness?
And now wiring for the hatch. I want to get a obd-1 ecu to run the hx motor in it(makes more sence) but do i just need to get a wiring harness and ecu from a civic vx from that year? I hope im making sence with everything. I searched a lot, i just need some quick help.

Default Re: 00 gsr motor into 98 HX coupe, 98 HX motor into 92 vx hatch, questions about wiring and mounts!!

or do i just want to use my stock HX ENGINE wiring harness with the gsr? it just that my hx wiring harness is obd-2a, and the wiring harness in using off my gsr is obd-2b. but the block is all obd-1 remember, and i am running a obd-1 ecu BUT!!!!!- also remember that the injectors and dizzy nd other things are obd-2 so that i can run the obd-2 wiring harness, the the hx harness should work, it has vtec, and i have a skunk 2 IM, so no IAB.

or is this whole idea stupid? and i should keep trying to sell my hatch, then put a h22 into my ek or something like that?
