Default B18a1 swap in CRX questions

I have an 89 CRX Si and a 94 integra ls.... I cant get the title to the integra, so I want to put the b18 in my CRX. The integra has a hydro tranny, so a friend is hooking me up with a b16 cable tranny (freebie). But no axles.. Will it bolt up to my b18 block? If so, will my b18 axles from my integra work with the b16 tranny and in the crx?...... I will ask the rest of the questions I have after someone helps me out with this to make things more simple.. I'm having to piece together my own swap cause I dont have the $$ to fund a full swap all at once.. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.

yes the trans and axles will work. you will need to use the intermediate shaft also. i'm using '96 integra axles an intermediate shaft. make sure you get the correct clutch too

Okay... Which clutch do I need to use? I've read that you need to use the clutch that goes with the same year as the tranny?

Alright... I'm going to stay obd0 for the time being until I can afford the jumper harness and whatever else it takes... Is an obd0 distributor all I have to have? (I found one for 10 bucks at the local junkyard.)

there is two different types of clutches for the 90-93 trans the s1 cable trans (90-91) has a smaller input shaft then the ys1 (92-93) cable trans.. i'm not sure which one a b16 cable trans uses so you better search be for you buy a clutch.....watch out for bad info.....

YS1 trans is from the GSR and the S1/J1/Y1 you'd use a regular LS clutch. well not 100% on the J1

Well I might not be able to get this b16 trans after all. But I do have a cable trans that has A1 sticker on it that came with a 90 integra I bought. My head has a 92 stamp on it. I've been told that will tell you the year of the engine. So will this A1 trans work with my 92 block? An then what clutch will I need? Sorry for the change up about the thread, but crap happens I guess. Thanks for the help so far.
