Info Needed on 98 GSR swap Into 89 ef sedan

I have a 1989 Civic sedan, that I bought just to pick my daughter up from school. All was OK until the 4th day when my A/C went out.
I got 3 estimates on repairs and it average out to $750. I have an automatic tranny, and figured its best to swap out.....

OK I got a Sweeeeeeet Deal on a 1998 GSR complete swap with 80k miles. I figured I could just drop that in, and also solve my A/C problem (I live in AZ).

I never swapped out an newer engine to a car 10 years older...... WHAT DO I NEED, OR SHOULD I STAY AWAY???? by the way the swap was 1500.00

the only bad things is your automatic...ive never done it, but seen it done...i heard it sucks to change over..the whole clucth pedal and clutch cable and all..but good luck to u,..and that motor should drop in pretty easy with hasports mounts..
