Will work is you use the stock DX driver's side mount and rewire to MPFI
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">tranny</TD></TR></TABLE>
Won't work (it's hydro), use the stock tranny (it's cable)
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">linkage</TD></TR></TABLE>
Won't work, use the stock linkage
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">ecu</TD></TR></TABLE>
Will work with OBD0 to OBD1 adapter, some under hood rewiring, MPFI wiring, VTEC wiring, 4 wire O2 conversion, etc.

Will work, stock will also work

You have obviously not done enough research, I suggest searching on here and elsewhere as there are many write-ups and different ways to do this swap.
