A while back I did this in a friends 95 Civic. I know its a different car but close to the same. I did have to cut the brake pedal down a ways and it worked just fine. All we did was use a sawzaw to chop it from the huge 6in pedal to a 3 in pedal. Wasn't perfect, but it functioned fine.

So you did have to cut it cause it was hitting the clutch? Or it was fine enough clearance?

Did this swap on my EK. Keep the stock gas pedal, swap out the brake pedal for a manual one(just remove the arm....one bolt, one pin, and one spring) then add the clutch pedal. Dont be ghetto and cut the auto brake pedal with a saw!

This was the question I was gonna ask "Can I just change the Brake Arm instead of the whole assembly" but thanks for your Answer, do I have to use a 96-98 manual brake arm or can I use any 92+annual brake arm?
