Default The facts for an EG w/GSR...?

I'm an old H22 owner from the other side; I owned an Accord. I've been outta the loop for over 4 years but have decided it's time to rejoin the Honda brotherhood. I believe I have done my research & homework so I just want to verify my knowledge. I'll be purchasing an EG (year undetermined as of yet) and transplanting a 94-97 JDM GSR with an S80 (gotta have LSD 'cuz I missed the 60's). These are the few questions that I was not able to verify or just had some doubt. She's gonna be just short of stock (I/H/E) so my questions are in consideration of simply swapping and daily driving.

1) Are the motor mounts a direct drop in... use the Teggy mounts in the EG bay?
2) Can I still use the EG radiator or will size/cooling ability be insufficient?
3) Is the Teggy motor an external or internal coil and am I simply able to use a B-series from an SI?
4) Axles... is there any year/model (with the ones I specified above) where I am dealing with hub issues as associated in the ITR swap?
5) Does the A/C compressor end up rubbing hence A/C is impossible or is there a bracket that I can purchase/fabricate to make it work?

I'm still in the planning phase but wanted to verify some info so that I know where this is going. I'm pretty sure I know this stuff but you all know how it goes with the first time doing a swap; I literally have zero experience with the Civic's and B-series. In advance thanks for the help and I look forward to joining the hybrid community once again... Am I allowed to use the "hybrid" term anymore because the new Honda's kinda stole that name?

Simply use everything from an integra, axles, motor mounts, and harness if you have it, otherwise retain your eg harness and add needed wires. Now for the ac get a p54 del sol ac bracket and you can retain your single cam compressor and lines.

i would say upgrade it just to be safe if you have the money becuase if you romp on it its better to be have the cooling power there then to overheat

1) Are the motor mounts a direct drop in... use the Teggy mounts in the EG bay?
::use all the mounts form a 94 up integra, fits right in.
2) Can I still use the EG radiator or will size/cooling ability be insufficient?
::still can be used, but the coolant neck for the hose is bigger.
3) Is the Teggy motor an external or internal coil and am I simply able to use a B-series from an SI?
:: internal
4) Axles... is there any year/model (with the ones I specified above) where I am dealing with hub issues as associated in the ITR swap?
::if u have a dx or si model use integra axles, cx model the hub where the axle goes is smaller.
5) Does the A/C compressor end up rubbing hence A/C is impossible or is there a bracket that I can purchase/fabricate to make it work?
::a/c is possible but i forgot what u need.

If you going to use the D-series AC compressor, get a Del Sol VTEC AC Mount.
