you'll need axles out of a 90-91 integra. and an 90-93 accord intermediate shaft. check out hasport hcp and placeracing for motor mounts. of coarse there are other ways you can go with the axles for example many people go the dss way.
make sure you run a compression test on that swap..if it's good ****** that deal. remember you get what you pay for.
search is your friend. most likely your question has been answerd.

Hmm, well if you're gonna have it professionally installed, make absolute sure there is no CEL's.
As for the swap, it runs about $2100 for complete swap, but if you found a legit engine for $1500, make sure it runs or there is a start up warranty with it.
As for other things, you will need axles (DSS or 90-93 Integra/Accord combo), and a mount kit (HCP or HASport).
Axles run about $300-$400 and mounts run from $300-$500.
As for labor, I would pay no more than $900 from pulling in your car with a stock motor, to turning the key to the new motor swap with zero CEL's.

Make sure (not that happens much, but it does and I've seen shops do this) that your check engine light cluster bulb is still in your cluster. When you turn your car to the ON position, you should see it light up. I've actually seen some shady shops back in the day remove the customer's cluster CEL bulb so that they can show the customer that there's no check engine light showing up, when all they were doing is hiding the real problems that weren't done correctly in the first place, and the codes that the ECU is throwing. Again, this doesn't really happen much anymore (not that I've heard or seen) but I've seen it done before to other people's cars so just be aware of that.
Like poison said, a good shop should make sure that there are no CEL's coming on when you start and drive your car.

i agree with everything brandon said.. make sure the shop is has a good reputation for engine swaps. there is a jackass in my town who is paying a mechanic like 1000 bucks to do an h22 swap in his coupe. that same mechanic can even install pistons in a honda correctly. just be careful.
