Default Swaping B16 from Crx to Hatch

Well first of all I'm new here. I own a 91 Si hatch and I'm interested in buying a B16 that's currently sitting in a 91 Crx. If I pull the engine outta the Crx, what additional parts would I need to take along with it in order for the engine to fit into my hatch.
Example: engine mounts, etc...

I'm a first time owner of a Honda and
I would appreciate anyone that can give me advice...
Thanks...

When you say axle, are you talking about the Cv Joints?

What year is the CRX and what trim is it (Si, Dx, Hf...)?

Trying to see if you can use the engine wiring harness that's on the B16 or if you will have to use the one that exists on you hatch's engine.
