Default B16 swap into 90 civic dx same as crx?

I'v been contumplating putting a b16a2 in my 90 civic dx and was wondering, would swaping a b16 into my dx be the same as swaping a b16 into a crx?
The reason I am asking is because in a post I say for how to swap a b16 into a crx the creator said he was not sure if it would be the same for civics.
Does anyone know how much diff there is between the two and what would be done differant if there is a differance?
Sorry if it sounds confusing but I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about, thanks in advance

The cars are mechanically identical, so there should be no problems.

you'll have the same problem with wiring I know that much... just converting it to obd1 if you ever need help with that go to rywire.com they'll hook it

I'm not sure on how much room you'll have you should measure it out or look for specs online for a 90 crx and your car

Wiring:

We make it specifically for your setup. OBD0 or OBD1 up to you.
For max gains, we recommend a Chipped P28 OBD1 ECU, but the OBD1 conversion gets expensive.

Hasport says 88-91 Civic/CRX, you fit into this catagory
