Default GSR swap into CRX (noob questions)

First off I understand and have done swaps into ek's but never ef's. Looking at a light weight drag car that i can drive in the street. My choice of set up is a crx with a built/boosted gsr. Just want to cover the basics, have read some pages and not sure if i have ef's 100% or not.

Convert obd0-obd1 (crx si harness)
p28
Obd1 gsr/externals/dizzy
b series cable tranny (da or jdmb16)
a) I didn't see it being worth it because i don't care about lsd but would hydro be better or stay cable? I still don't know the difference except for what cars have them stock. I would prefer a gsr/b16 and not really waste money on coverting if there are no serious gains.
b series axles (da or hasport)
b series mounts efb1's for cable (hasport)
a) do i need da mounting brackets? Saw 1 might be needed for the side mount
b series shift linkage (da or hasport)

clutch,flywheel,etc....Just double checkin that this is about all i will need to do the swap and everything on the list is useable. I still have not bought the crx but am really debating on it. I know I will need tuning,fuel system, turbo blah blah but I was just trying to get these basics down because they are unfamiliar to me and people i ask all bought their ef's with b swaps....

Trying to stay away from hacking the harness and would just like conversion harnesses as well.

the engine harness WILL need to be modified for vtec and a 4 wire O2 or wideband, knock sensor, vtec pressure switch.

the difference between the transmissions you mention are the input shaft diameter, the
hydro is a bit stronger due to a thicker input shaft basicly, and some other things depending
on the trans you pick.

You pretty much covered everything else.

ok that wiring for vtec and stuff must have been the 7 wire splice job i read about a little bit ago. I didnt want to jump into something and then have a money pit. Thanks!
