The problem is your 96 engine is OBD-2 and your 92 engine is OBD-1. You will need to do a OBD conversion.

you will need an obd-1 ecu, obd-2a -> obd1 harness, different exhaust manifold/header, thats just that i know you will have to change for sure

and in most places its illegal to put a motor that was made for a earlier year than the car and to downgrade...wll at least in cali it is

it's usually not worth the headache to go through that, plus if theres inspection anything like PA or CA in WV, forget it. look around junkyards, theres plenty of accord motors around for your car. no point in ruining a running car to just make a new-ish car shittier.
