Default b18b swap in 97 american EX questions

Hey, I've been swapping my b18b from my last civic and have a couple questions that I can't seem to find answers for or need help with.

Cruise control...car has it. I think we have the cruise cable into the power steering pump and tried tapping into a vacuum line but it idled around 1600rpm. We have the throttle cable installed for the main pedal cable but cruise cable in the right spot? and is there no where to plug in the vacuum line?

AC bracket doesn't line up so I heard the CRV bracket works and everything else from d-series AC installs correct?

Thanks

CRV bracket or the DelSol VTEC bracket. either of these will allow you to bolt up you d-series compressor and retain A/C

thanks, anyone know about the cruise control vacuum? I can't find much info on it but I did read that the LS engines don't have it for cruise control. Unsure what to do as it changes my idle when connected.

also.. my stock throttle cable is a bit short because of the way the pedal is setup for cruise, my LS swap has one that works but a very small deadzone on the pedal because the threads are stripped where it needs to be set to...will any integra and maybe crv throttle cable work with the b18b ek with cruise setup? Thanks
