Default H22/F22 Vtec swap into Del Sol, anything I should be aware of?

A friend and I are going to swap a F22b1 engine into a Civic Del Sol. The procedure should be the same as a H22. This Del Sol already has a Vtec. Both the car and engine are USDM and OBD 1.

To anyone who has done this (or H22) swap into a Del Sol, are there any issues that I should be aware of?

Thanks!

It is FWD, I have to worry about understeer anyways. It adds about 140 pounds to the front. I plan on getting coilovers, all the tie bars and sway bars. We are going to try to make a custom 4 point cage for it as well.

Yea, even the F22 has more torque most B series engines. But it really beats up on the front end.

We are definitely getting upgraded axles. I've already broken one on my Accord.
