Probably the same. Just need HAP K20 harness kit. Both motors have vtec, so you'll have to wire that unless your Civic is already an EX.

The answer to your question about your mounts is no, your mounts will not work. You are going to need a new wiring harness, mounts and axles.

Depending on the header you might need to modify (weld) part of your exhaust.

If you plan to be the one installing this motor, Then i would do some serious searching here on H-t about how to perform this sawp. These motors are not the same or as easy as dropping a b series into your car.

This is one (if not the most) the most advanced swaps for honda's. Like stated before, if you plan on doing this yourself I suggest you do a lot of research. http://www.k20a.org is a great site for info on the swap.

Oh, and I wish I was getting a k20 for christmas.
