Default Obd1 gsr swap into 94 civic si

So I am wanting to swap a usdm gsr motor from a 95 gsr into my civic 95 si.

So far I know I need his
Motor/trans
Axles
Throttle cable?
Linkage
Ecu

All I should need is
lower rad hose
Iab/knock wired
Del sol vtec/crv ac bracket
Rear t bracket

Will the gsr engine harness plug up to my shock tower harness (wanna keep my single cam I've for when I sell the motor)? Am I forgetting anything?

What do you mean keep my single cam for when I sell which motor? If I remember correctly your civic comes with a vtec motor. The stock harness should plug right up to the gsr motor. Almost everything should be plug and play. You'll need a del sol b16 throttle cable. Or I think I'm running a gsr throttle cable with a custom made cable holder. And are you trying to keep AC? If not you won't need that bracket unless your wanting to install the front lower torque mounts

i have ac and want to keep it. i wanted to keep my stock harness with the z6 so i can sell my z6 swap with harness, mounts, and ecu all that. his motor runs fine and i was just gonna keep his harness hooked up and plug it in, and then run the wires for knock and iabs.

i think if i use the gsr throttle cable that would be best right? make a bracket for the throttle cable at the firewall

he is gonna do a type r swap obd2 into his teg, so he wont need the harness or throttle cable.

Ok I understand. Yes I'm pretty sure the gsr harness will work. Eg/Dc/delsol are all pretty much the same bays and all that besides a few small things. If you wanted to do it right go to honda and get the b16 del sol throttle cable and bracket. But like I said I have a gsr throttle cable.

What do you mean make a bracket at the fire wall?

if i were to use the gsr cable, it has a bracket on the firewall on the integra, just to hold that long cable to the firewall just before it loops around.

It'll plug up just add the wiring from the shock tower to the ECU for knock and IAB's. I don't believe the exhaust manifold bolts up to the cat correctly so you'll need to get an exhaust shop to adjust it.
