Default 91 Integra motor,harness& ecu swap into 92 civic? I know it will fit but will it work??

I have a complete running 91 integra Ls, and I want to swap it into my 92 Hatch.
I know I can get the motor in there, but can I use the integras OBD 0 ecu and complete harness to run the car? I figure the harness will plug and play inside the engine bay. But inside I am concerned that i won't be able to get guages and stuff to work.
then the other option someone told me is the integra gauges, but I dont know if they will fit, or if there is other wiring that will hinder this. Also, will vacum lines be a problem??

Let me know what you think, I'd appreciate any ideas.

It's much easier and better to use OBD1 electronics on the motor. Using OBD0 is inferior not to mention more work to get right in an OBD1 car.

Again you would be doing more work that's much harder than swapping your current engine harness onto the B18A and using OBD1 parts. Trust me, use OBD1 parts or don't do the swap

You will need an OBD1 LS ECU and distributor from a 92-93 Integra or a 94-95 Integra. You can reuse your stock fuel injectors.
