Default Dropping B18A into EF Sedan w/ A/C & Power steering...which mount kit to use????

Like the post says, I am attempting to drop a B18A1 into a 90 Civic EX....I want to be able to keep the A/C and PS on the car...Is it possible? Whic mount kit can i use or which mounts from the Integra and Civic can I use so that there is not that harsh vibration distributed throughtout the whole when u use a mount kit?

Also, if the car is an EX, do I still need the resistor box from the Integra?

Thanx!


P.S. The car is OBD0 and the engine is from a 92 Integra...OBD1, if that helps.

really any b-series mount kit

You'll need b-series a/c mount though.

PS I am not sure if the EX has the PS lines going to the Speedo. No biggie, the integra however does.

Probably just use the b18a1 p/s.

In order to use the motor you'll need to either make it obdo (changing dizzy to obdo, alternator and fuel injectors unless you convert your wiring to work with the fuel injectors).

If you stay obdo you'lll need a pr4 obdo ecu or use your EX ecu but it won't run the best but it'll run!!

A/c yes. And I believe so for the p/s but i have never done this. B18a1 came with p/s (at least some of them) so I would think you could use that pump. but I am not sure with the hasport a/c mount if it'll affect the p/s pump at all.
