Default ek b18b swap torque mount question

The 96 hatch i recently bought came with a b18 swap. The timing side motor mount was ripped clear off of the mounting points. I purchased a wheelhouse from honda, removed the old one and am getting the new one spot welded on soon. There are no torque mounts on the car, and i already got the right one and bracket for the trans side of a hydro integra mt. I keep seeing that you need a vtec del sol ac bracket for the torque mount on the driver side, and i keep reading the crv is the one you need. I need to know which i need. i wont be using it to bolt on ac, its just so i can use the torque mount on the driver side. I cant seem to figure out which one i need for the purpose of bolting on torque mount on driver side, and if i need the rubber mount off of donor car, or stock civic mount. so... help me out? which do i need? is there any modification necessary?

if you aren't using a/c, any b series one will work.

Correct. And if you think you might want A/C at some point in the future both the Del Sol VTEC and CR-V mounts work.

FYI,
torque mounts should be run no matter what motor mounts or swap is installed.
Big misconception is when you do a B swap, and have aftermarket motor mounts that you no longer need torque mounts.
Hasport will tell you that you need to run them still.

Dirty 19, my car is the perfect example. it tore the hasport timing mount bracket clear out of its bolting points. I ran into another problem. the stud/pin,/whatever it is called on my integra torque bracket that goes in to the mount is to small of a diamater, and i imagine to short. I dont have the original as it was missing when i bought car. Can i use a mt integra mount on that part? maybe back the bolt out a couple of turns to make it a little longer? and as far as the ac bracket, will i need to use a different stud or mount to make sure the diamater of the hole and diamater of the stud/pin/whatever match? I need to finish the car tomorrow, so i cant order any parts and wait. any ideas?

That stud is supposed to be too small. Don't ask me why but they're all the same size. You can use the Integra rubber mount, but there's a square piece of metal welded to bottom of the frame rail between the two bolt holes you'll need cut out for it to fit.
