Default any differences between B18a longblock from auto/manual car

Any differences in regards to just the long block (throttle boddy to Oil pan). i.e. less horsepower due to different cams? I could get a good deal on one from an automatic 90 integra, to swap into my CRX but am not sure if I'll suffer any disadvantages in getting one from an automatic donor car. Any answer/advice, thanks in advance.

yeah they are the same physically. cams maybe the only difference.
Oh, the auto has an EGR valve on the passenger side of the intake manifold that you would want to remove and block off.

Thanks for the info, How would you recommend blocking it off, is there some kind of dummy plug that might be available from a manual intake mani? I need to make it look like it belongs to a manual or it won't pass smog here in cali.
