confused a little bit on LS swap
well last week i bought a 1990 ls motor with low miles. it was just the motor, no manifolds or harness. yesterday i went to the junkyard and i found a acura integra an it was obd1, i think it was like a 92. anyways i took the intake manifold and distributor off with the harness and paid 130 for everything. when i get home with everything i was ispecting everthing and i notice that the intake manifold has all these little tubes at the back like for vaccum hoses and i notice that in my car i dont have all those hoses. the manifold is very different. did i mess up and get the wrong on or are all obd1 ls manifolds like that. i want to drop the ls motor into a 1995 civic dx coupe

Just make sure the coolant hoses either go into the head or you can just Tee them all together too. Doesn't really matter where they all go as long as they go somewhere ya know?
Edit: You said vacuum hose, pretty much same thing. Make sure all the sensors that require a vacuum hose have one and for the rest just plug them up. The only reason an LS manifold would have extras is for extra outputs so if you don't need them on the civic then you don't need them. I'm sure it will make more sense when you have both of them side by side and you can decide what to do. Good luck.
