really? i am serious, those are the basic steps. all the info you want exists on this site, do you want some to do a 10 page write-up just for you?
if you have any specific questions then post and you will probably get an answer, but you can't post such a general question and expect a detailed answer. this is a very common and easy swap. get to researching.

Re: (do what)
you will use the DX harness and modify it as necessary (like i said in step 2). for wiring info i use this site alot: http://technet.ff-squad.com/
as for mounts, you will need a new rear, and driver side upper. to keep AC you will also need a new driver lower mount. you can find the part numbers off this link: http://kosmo.homedns.org/trey/6gen/
another way to do the wiring is by using an obd2a EX harness and you will have less modding to do.
there is alot of info to be found at both of the links i just gave you. check um out carefully.

Re: (ndogg)
i read the info in the second link and from what i understand is that with the EX harness, all i would have to do is lengthen a couple wires. Is that right?

how about checking the faq in THIS forum for starters...
third sticky at the top of this sub-forum,
posts 2 and 3.
sheesh.
anyway, an add'l tip is if you want to use the sohc compressor, use a 97 CRV ac bracke and pulleyt- it's the same as the 93-97 del sol unit and half the price.

No, you will not need a new drivers side upper mount. The stock D series one will work just fine. A/C retention will require either the P54 (Del Sol) or the P7J (CRV) bracket.

Won't help him out much considering his car is a 2000. He would need an OBD2B harness. The absolute best option in his case is to fine a 99-00 Si harness and make the entire deal plug and play.

yes, he will need the driver side upper mount. the part that bolts to the block.
as far as the wiring your right, obd2B.

Well, when I thought "mount" I was thinking the metal bracket that connects the engine to the frame. The actual "mount" on the side of the engine wasn't in mind. Sorry for not clarifying.

if you want to spend the money to save some time. reusing your stock harness is not that hard to add and make necessary changes.
