If you have the EF-18X kit (replacement mounts), then you need to get a 90-93 rear tranny bracket (L-shaped part) and change the cast iron bracket on the block on the driver side to the 90-93 Integra or 89-91 B16 in order to use the HCP mount in your EF chassis. For clearance on the radius rod, change the crank pulley to a 90-91 Integra pulley and it'll clear the radius rod. With all of that done, the car will sit fine and have plenty of clearance all around, and it won't hit your hood either.

It may rub it, so in order to insure the most clearance, you can either get a single belt pulley (like a CTR pulley or AEM pulley) or get a smaller 90-93 Integra pulley.
