Default Automatic 92 Lx to automatic B18B?

Okay the car is an 1992 Civic Lx with the D15B7(1.5 nonvtec) with a auto tranny.my question is, will the B18B with auto tranny mount in the 92 Civics engine bay useing the factory engine and tranny mounts?
I know on the manual tranny swap that the tranny mounts would have to be relocated but will the tranny mounts need to be relocated with the auto swap?
Any info is aprecciated,thank you.

im not sure but someone will tell you
i have a question tho
why do you want to keep it auto?
honda automatic transmissions are slushboxes. you will loose a SIGNIFICANT amount of power and will never see the full potential of the engine.

just the upper tranny mount has to be relocated for either swap. or in the case of manual swapping, you could save relocation because one of those mount co's makes a mount that adapts the tranny to the bracket correctly. in the generation swap that you want to do, you have to also get the tranny control module. you have to run about 30 wires from various auto sensors, ecu, and tranny ecu. it was not really a pain, but time consuming. i have the schematics if you want them because you decide to stay auto. don't listen to what people tell you, but do hear advise...i did this same auto-auto hybrid swap. it is rare and it was actually fun and fast as **** because it was in a 2000lb hatch...oh yeah, and it was boosted 8psi , but that broke my tranny in two months. i just didn't have the funds at the time to all the manual components so i saved a little with staying auto. just advising, if you can afford the manual swap, then do that because you will have less problems. when a auto *****, it is hard to diagnose and very costly to fix (most places just replace the damn thing). manuals are easier to diagnose problems, and work on, and "upgrade!". the main thing being upgrades i guess but it's your choice.
