next spring in I plan to perform an h22 swap... i have heard about the suspension issues and they can be easily reconciled,but i heard i will loose my power steering.
I want to keep it, but how?

ya you will have to get rid of power steering. I was stumped on this fact as well before I did my swap.

But, when you take off power steering, trust me, the car feels much better as for turns and such non-power assisted.

Reason being it will not fit (although I could be wrong if I am sorely mistaken), but the EK/J engine bay is just slightly bigger than EG/J engine bay.

Currently, there is no bracket for having power steering, and the prelude's/accord's will not fit due to hood clearance and radiator support clearance.

Let alone getting a belt up there when there is barely any room between the frame rails.

I don't see why not. I have PS in mine (94 ex with h22). I had to cut my rad suport and make a custom line. I works great.

there are ways around it, and of course, some fabrication.

I dunno how the hell you got that power steering main line to the pump, but props

I just cut my main line and welded the h22 line to it.

Did you use a custom bracket for the power steering pump? Also what engine mounts are you using? I called HASport today, and the person told me that they are coming out with the EK-H22 mounts in about two months and u can use the prelude ac condensor? and the power steering pump.

I used the h22 pump and bracket. Its a tite fit, but it clears the hood. I'm using the HASport mounts. I know they are working on a bracket for the stock EG/J ac compressor. I dont know about the h22 condensor. I tried to hook up the ac using the h22 compressor. It hits the frame rail. I would have to bang the frame rail out a little to make it fit. Also the EG/J condensor hits the altanator. I have seen AC in the EK/J-22 but not the EG/J-22. You have more room in the EK.
