Default 99 civic ex brakes on my 94 del sol?

I have a wrecked 99 civic ex, What would I need to do to put the front rotors on my 1994 Del sol?

Just the rotors, or the entire brake assembly? Either way - easiest way is to disconnect the entire steering knuckle and bolt it to your Del Sol. Its only 4 bolts and it comes off...

I was going to try to use just the rotors, maybe the caliper bracket. The civic has larger rotors than my Sol. Wouldn't I run into problems if I swapped the whole brake assembly since the Civic has ABS?

Just because it has ABS doesnt mean you have to use it. Its just a sensor, my Integra steering knuckles had it, its just not being used (ABS). Its a lot easier and faster to swap the entire steering knuckle.
Look at my setup:
1) 94 Integra knuckles
2) Type R Calipers, w/ stock Pads *Calipers were cut 4 mm for clearance
3) 11.1 Fastbrakes Brembo slotted/drilled rotors
All OEM honda parts, you just have to know the right combinations...
