Hey guys, I currently have a Del Sol Vtec OBD1 B18C GSR in it and am looking to swap the motor into a 99 CX Hatch (OBD2B D16Y7). and am looking to see which parts I need to buy. As reference, among others I am using this post:
https://honda-tech.com/forums/hybrid-engine-swaps-18/%2A-%2A-obd1-b-series-engine-into-obd2a-obd2b-civic-integra-%2A-%2A-1972711/

I already know I will be buying these: OBD2B>OBD1 Jumper Harness, Bseries AC Bracket(Del Sol doesn't have AC), 96-98 or 99-00 SI Dizzy Plugs or a 96-00 Vtec Engine Harness to minimize wiring.

Things I know I have: 2-post drivers side mount, B-Series Axles, OBD1 P72 ECU

Here are my questions:
1. Will I need to buy a front tranny bracket? Or will the one that I am currently using in the Del Sol work?
2. I believe I can use the D-Series AC compressor only with a Del Sol or CRV AC bracket; is that correct or do I need a B-series compressor?
3. Do I need 99-00 SI Shift Linkage or can I use the Del Sol linkage. I believe the Del Sol linkage is ~1" too short, but I am not too sure on that.
4. Will a Del Sol rear T bracket fit on the hatch? I know it says to use the SI bracket and that the part numbers for both are different but what are the differences.

I believe that is all my questions for now, pertaining to just the motor swap (I will be looking to transfer brakes/suspension parts soon as well). The wiring part of it seems pretty straight forward.

Thanks in advance!

Mounts
1. Use 99-00 rear T bracket and resuse all others

Wiring (use 99-00 EX harness to eliminate engine IACV changes and VTEC and knock additions)
1. Add wiring for IABs, knock and VTEC
2. Injectors won't plug in either use y8 injectors or remove the blue portion of the injector plugs and use the obd1 injectors
3. Alternator won't plug in either use obd2 b series alt or swap voltage regulators over from an obd2 alt if possible or adapter harness
4. Convert IACV to 2 wire at plug and ECU
5. IAT won't plug in either use OBD2 IAT in intake arm or swap to an obd1 plug and use te gsrs
6. Distributor adapter obd2b to obd1

Shift linkage
1. Use 94-01 integras or 99-00 SI

Misc
1. CRV ac bracket and d series pump

what if you used a spark plug adapter then you could use the obd1 plugs with the harness?

What should I do as far at as the exhaust goes? I will be using the stock B18C manifold until this winter. Will it bolt up to the tiny CX exhaust?

Bump. Any input on exhaust? I'm hoping by some miracle it will bolt up
