Default B18C Swap in EK questions

Looking to do a JDM B18C5 swap in my 98 ek hatch. Yes I searched, still have some questions.
So far this is what I understand I need:
Engine, well obviously
B Series Trans
B18C5 ECU
Integra Type R Shift Linkage (Included with my motor) (Its my understanding that all B series would work, is this true?)
Integra Type R Axles (Its my understanding that all B series would work, is this true?) (My motor includes Type R axles)
Correct cast iron 2 post driver's side upper mount bracket (See question below)
Si Rear Transmission Bracket (Would the Rear Transmission Bracket from a JDM Type R work? The motor I'm looking at includes one.

Wiring:
As far as the engine harness goes, is it just adapting the EK's D series harness to the B18? Adding VTEC and such?
The JDM motor is OBDII and so is the EK, so I'm staying OBDII.

ECU:
Does it need to be a USDM ECU? Do I run an OBDIIa, OBDIIb or OBDI USDM ECU I've read it needs to be USDM, my motor includes a JDM ECU, could I use it?

Mounts:
I understand I need the right, 2 post, driver's side upper engine mount bracket but the picture of my JDM B18C shows a different style mount then the EK uses, I know I won't use that mount but what about the bracket? Would the stock EK driver's side upper mount bolt on to the bracket that my motor already has? (See pictures)









Any help is appreciated,

Thanks,
Ian
