Who is telling you people this stuff?
There are quite a few swap guides in the FAQs. Pick one. Follow it. If it doesn't mention shift linkages then don't worry about shift linkages.
These swaps are pretty common so they can be as difficult or as easy as you make them. The info is out there.

You need to re-use your OBD1 harness, aside from plugs being different the DA integras shock tower plugs are flipped reverse from a 5th gen civic. Unless you want to swap over your entire chassis harness taking steps backwards when a factory obd1 LS computer can just be had for cheap.

For linkage you need either 94-01 integra (any model) or 99-00 Civic SI.

For engine mounts you can reuse your main 3 stock mounts (tranny, rear mount on the subframe, driver side top mount.) because your car is a 95, meaning it has the correct style driver side mount already. HOWEVER you WILL need the post mount for the driver side from a 94-01 Integra (any model) or a 94-97 Del Sol VTEC (dohc model). You will need a rear t-bracket mount from either a 94-01 Integra (any model) 99-00 Civic Si or a 94-97 Del Sol VTEC (dohc model) and MUST be from a manual transmission. From the previous 3 models i listed you can also find the correct tranny torque mount and AC bracket torque mount.

For a transmission i strongly recommend ditching that cable transmission and putting a hydraulic one in, but whether or not you want to do the conversion is entirely up to you.

Every single one of these that I've read so far says to use the linkage from the Integra. So stop listening to whomever is "telling" you this stuff and actually read what others have done.
