Default Engine mount difference between DC2 & Ek? (B-series)

If you had a b series swap from a dc2. What mounts would you need to make it work in an EK? I know that the driver side is totally different, but is that the only one? Can you use the others?

Thanks

Yeah but some of the mounts from the dc2 must be usable. I'm not gonna go buy 3-400 in oem mounts

You MUST use a 99-00 Si driver's side mount bracket then you can retain the stock EK mount. The same with the rear bracket - 99-00 Si bracket and reuse the stock EK mount. You can reuse the stock EK upper tranny mount. For the lower front tranny mount bracket you can use the DC2 then retain the EK rubber mount. Same applies to the A/C bracket if you are only using it as a dampening mount - DC2 A/C bracket with EK rubber mount. If you want to have A/C, you'll need a Del Sol VTEC A/C bracket and then use the stock D series compressor.

It won't cost near that much, but without them you won't be mounting the motor in.
