Default USDM B16a2 into a 88 CRX DX?

First I did a search but I still don't find the answer. Here is the question, I am doing a swap for USDM (99-00 si) B16a2 swap (ECU, motor, axles, tranny, and fuel injectors) into a DX CRX. I know that I have to do a lot of stuff to make it works. stuff like to get a cable tranny, wiring for vtec, and other stuff?? Also do I need to an 90-93 axle or I can use the axle from the si? I've done the research, but I want to make sure what else I need to buy in order to finish this swap, cause I got a quote to do this swap, labor only $900.00. So, I want to make sure everything I need instead of missing this and that while someone pull the motor out of my car. Then i have to come back and forth to get the missing parts. If anyone have done this or something similiar, please give me some advice/comment on a shopping list. Thanks in advance.

yea use axle from 90-91 integ.. also while ur at it.. change a new timing belt and water pump. it will save you alot more time.. and get a cable tranny.. I have a USDM b16a3 from a 94 delsol.. .. also have to run 4 wire o2 sensor out , and knock sensor if i can recall.. right. are you gonna go with obd2? maybe you should run obd1. it would be better. You will also need the integra driver side mount bracket. and the rear one as well *clostest to the firewall*. here is the list.. so this dont confuse u

1.dual-point throttle body injection on the Dx to multi-point injection
2.B-Series cable transmission (Y1, J1, S1)
3. left driver side and rear mount bracket. from 90-93 integra.
4. motor mounts w/ shiftlinkage
5. OBD-1/OBD-2 conversion wiring recommended
6.90*91 integ axles
7. recommended to change water pump and timing belt before hand
8. recomended to change clutch
9. Optional to flywheel.

there might be a few things i left out.. someone fill in if i forgot anything.

good lucK!

After I have read the message, I still have some questions that I don't understand.

1.dual-point throttle body injection on the Dx to multi-point injection

--->do you mean the wire harness to make the VTEC work? I saw it on hasport.

2.B-Series cable transmission (Y1, J1, S1)

--->Y1, J1, S1 do they all equipped with LSD? or which one will be the best combo for B16a2 swap.

3. left driver side and rear mount bracket. from 90-93 integra.

--->
4. motor mounts w/ shiftlinkage

--->

5. OBD-1/OBD-2 conversion wiring recommended

--->I am lost on this one. you mean for the O2 sensor to the "CAT"?

6.90*91 integ axles

--->

7. recommended to change water pump and timing belt before hand--->
8. recomended to change clutch--->
9. Optional to flywheel.--->

Once again thanks, and I don't think I would be able to prepare this swap without you guys help.
