Default F22B DOHC swap

Hey guys. no one on any of the prelude forums knows the answer to my question, and i have searched, so i figured i would ask the guys that use the engine the most. accord guys! anyways..
I am swapping an F22B into my 5th gen prelude this weekend. as far as the prelude community is concerned this engine is almost irrelevant and no one has done this swap into a 5th gen. I am not entirely sure what all needs to be swapped over from my obd2 h22a4 to get this f22b into my prelude with no CEL's/ annoying obd issues. I have already ordered a conversion harness and a P28 with a stock f22b map on it. I will be boosting and tuning in the next few weeks so thats why im not just buying a stock ecu. what all will i need to swap over? dist,injectors etc....? i plan to use my stock h22 harness. also, are there any things i should have disabled on the ecu im ordering? knock sensor? also, does anyone know if my power steering pump will work with the F22B? thanks for the help guys.

Plug in play, really. You will have to extend some of the connectors.

I'm trying to see if I can put a OB1 H22 in my 97 OB2 car The connectors might be a issue.

alright cool. thanks for the responses. so basically i just wont be hooking up VTEC? and the distributor/injectors/ckp sensors on the F22B will be good with my h22 harness? that makes this a lot easier.

you just need a good garage around the 46th and keystone area and a bunch of beer to drink...before the first test drive that is.

you would need to re-wire the crank position sensor to the f22b distributor
