Do you have access to a good shop area and tooling, and some buddies who can help. It only takes a weekend if you have all the parts and some decent help. The OBD1 SiR engine will be a direct bolt-up as you had the D16 VTEC engine in your Del Sol. The existing engine harness will work, again as the car was VTEC to begin with. You will need a hoist/ cherry picker, the basic tools and air tooling. Ensure you have new hub nuts, you can't reuse the old ones safely, and make sure you mark all of the hardware as you take it out of the car, so you put it all back in properly. The T bracket for the tranny mount ( rear of the engine assy, ) and a B series Del Sol A/C bracket will be needed( if you have A/C and want to keep it). The shift linkage will need to be a B series on as well. Your D series exhaust will bolt right up, and no need to retrace O2 wiring! Any wet lines ( brakes, power steering, clutch and A/C) should be left in the car, as in do not cut or break the lines, unless you have the fluids and skills to restore them. Rather, dissconnect them from the block/ chassis and move them to where you have clearance to work. Other than this advice, have patience, have fun, and enjoy the new set up.
