Default Eg hatch b18b1 swap confirmation

Hey HT, I have a 1992 civic hatch that I'm currently trying to swap for a b18b1, it will be my first time swapping, & I want to make sure that I do it right the first time around. I've been learning about Honda's, working on Honda's, thanks to my friends but I feel their is still so much to learn. All help is appreciated !

Obd1 d15b7 currently in
Swap list parts that I have:
Obd1 B18b1 motor
Ls hydro tranny
B series Starter
B series header & downpipe
B series drivers side motor mount
B series shift linkage
New B series exedy clutch, throwout bearing, & pressure plate
Dc axles w/ abs ring
B16 t-bracket
P75 ECU
Going to use d series alternator, so I have b series pulley, b series alternator brackets, 14mm spacers, nut, bolt & b series belt
All fluids
New head gasket
B series short shifter
----------------------------------------------------
Questions:
1. Is this all I need ? Am I missing anything ?
2. Will d series mounts except drivers side mount work ?
3. Last owner of the engine got a alternator bolt stuck, and chipped the housing for it on the back of the block, what should I do ?
4. Will any d series bolts work for starter, tranny, shift linkage, & header ?
5. The oil pan is tapped for turbo, and I'm not boosting it yet, is their a way to block it off w/o buying a new oil pan ?

Thanks for any help !

Man I think that's all. If you install a new head gasket, be sure and replace the valve cover gasket and plugs and plug wires. You don't have too but why not start with fresh gaskets. Oh and also go ahead and replace the head studs with arp studs.

You can't use a b16 t bracket, you need an integra t bracket

It depends on what it came out of. If it's from a '92 - '95 JDM Civic SiR or Integra it'll work. If it came from a '96 - '00 Civic or Orthia then it wont.

Don't mean to thread jack but it's on topic and I don't think there is a point in starting a new thread.

Are these the same if I do a b20 anti my eg? Also I'm going auto to manual do I still use the 94-01 Integra ls bracket?

I think they might sell plugs that you can use to block off the tap
