Default b18c swap into a 5g civic, lots of questions

Ok well I am debating which engine to drop, I really havent reasearched the b18c as much as the b16a, anyway I have a lot of questions that need answers! :D

1. What modifications will I have to do to my engine to get the gsr engine to work, say if the engine doesnt come with stock air box?

2. What do I need to keep power steering/AC

3. Whats this about extending the something to get the exhuast to fit? dont really get that...

anything else anyone can add, I would really appreciate it

well, i could answer one of your questions.
about the exhasut. theres going to be about a 3 inch gap so you need to go to a muffler shop and weld on a flex pipe or some other kind of pipe

Yes you can keep power steering and A/C. You will need the GSR power steering pump and mount and you will need the A/C mount from a DOHC Del Sol. Hope this helps.
