You need a mount kit and you will need to either modify the stock shift linkage to fit or buy a pre made one. You will also need to convert your fuel injection and wiring to run a multipoint fuel injection system. Do a search and you will find a ton of info on ef b series swaps.

Make sure the motor is complete - i.e. wiring harness, injectors, distributor, etc. Also make sure you get the intermediate shaft along with the axels. You say it's a motor package so I'm assuming it will have all of that stuff.
It is an easy swap, no wiring involved other than converting the dpfi to mpfi. Just use your dpfi engine harness and take the distributor and injector plugs and resistor box from the Integra harness and you'll be set. You'll need to extend a few plugs but you'll have plenty of wire to use from the extra harness. The ecu will plug directly into your under dash harness.
Get a nice mount kit: HASport or HCP and have the Integra shift linkage shortened to fit or buy one from the same company whose mounts you use. You can also retain your A/C if you car has it, by using an A/C mount bracket. If you need any help let me know because I've done two of these swaps.

awesome thanks guys.....

ok since i have a dx, i picked up a Si harness.....so how would i go about the wiring? Every site i go to says SI to ZC wiring and im not doing a ZC swap.

Also does anyone know anygood sites that sell a combo deal on the mounts a linkage beside HASport? thanks

If you are getting the LS engine harness then the Si won't be of much use. Neither the Si or LS harnesses will plug into the shock tower plugs since dpfi and mpfi use different styles of plugs. I thought it would be plug and play with a MPFI harness the first time I did the swap in my 91 CRX but I found that they are different. I would sell the Si harness since the plugs you need (injectors + distributor) can be taken from the LS harness.
If you are looking at HASport or Honda Hybrid wiring charts, you need to follow the DX to Si/ZC wiring or the DPFI to MPFI wiring. I think it's really easy to do but some people have trouble with it.

Driver's side shock tower near the firewall - looks somewhat like a car amplifier - like a small rectangle box with heatsinks.

From what two people have told me, the poly bushings in the mount kits vibrate the car. True?
