Default Swapping engines

Im swapping my ls motor from one crx to the other. The one Crx with the motor in it right now is a hf the other crx is a dx is there anything that is different that I need or will it bolt right up? Do I need a different wire harness? or Do I need to use si spindles for the axle splines?

The only issue will be wiring the DX for the MPFI.

I went to King Motorsports today and was picking up some christmas gifts for my buddy.

Well I was talking to one of the guys there and he was telling me as long as my b18 is obd1 that I dont need to get a new harness or get it converted with the resistor box that i just need a jumper harness for the obd1 with the 4 wires that go into the engine bay. Is this true? He said he did the same thing with his civic.
