Default H22 transmission swap

Alright I'm swapping my 97 Prelude to a manual transmission. Do I need the manual mounts and t bracket or will the auto ones work? If not can I use manual mounts from a 98-02 Accord F23 vtec 5 speed? The engine bay setup looks similar

Swapped the 5 speed in and now I have an idle surge. No visible sensors unplugged. Any ideas?

There is a bleeder on the tstat housing. Get engine warm, open bleeder, let coolant out till there is no air. You can put some clear tubing on the bleeder and route it to a jug to keep things clean and watch air bubbles.
Make sure your overflow is full when you do this.
Let your engine cool down for a few hours.
Once cool, open the rad cap and top up the rad. Then top up the overflow.

GNXPRO24, how did you solve this engine surge problem? We have the very same issue on our side.

Yup, bleeding the cooling system did the trick:
