D Series Mini Me Swap Help!!
Okay so let me start off by saying I am new to Internet forums, I've never posted or asked questions just used them as research for projects and work.
But let's get to the point.
So last spring I purchased a 1991 EF Sedan. Bought it knowing it had a rebuilt engine and needed a clutch.
Put a clutch in it and it ran great for about 3 weeks. A little spirited driving on the way home from work and the head gasket blew.
So I started diving in this engine happy and eager to start a new project.
Found that the block was a D15b8, only assuming here but I'm pretty sure it had a D16a6 head.
But that head meant almost nothing to me at the time, I was almost happy I blew my head guys. Immediately found a D16y8 head on Craigslist.
So still extremely excited about this car just started ripping parts off left and right. Nuts and bolts I had organized to the T, but didn't even think about all the hoses on the fire wall.
So here's where the fun started, I slapped that D16y8 on hand tightened a lot down. And realized I don't know where any of these hoses go, hell don't even know what half of them are for.
Then the wiring hit me, something I've never been strong at. But I picked up a wiring harness off the old craigslist as well and figured that would be the next best step for me to tackle.
Well then I got a promotion at work. Until about 6 weeks ago, when I quit that job, I was literally working all day everyday. 7 days a week, sun up to sun down, and I really mean that. If I worked a 12 hour day, that was an easy day.
But back on topic.
I need help figuring out where all the vacuum hoses go on a 1991 Civic DX. It doesn't help that I'm pretty sure the engine was swapped once before. So many ugly wiring connections and I'm pretty sure the D15b8 was a economy CRX engine.
And I also need help figure out the wiring.
And I need an ECU if anyone wants to trade some parts. I bought a P07 with out doing any research and Pherable.net said they couldn't chip the model I have.
Torque specs could be good as well. I think I remember the head being something like 58lbs but I can't remember and don't have access to AllData anymore.
I know this post was long and if anyone took the time to read it, I'd love the help. Thanks

Here's the only picture I have because it's late. If anyone needs to see more pictures to help I can take some. I think there are 4-5 vacuum hoses that I'm stumped on and I really know nothing about wiring.
This is my P07, if anyone thinks it will run my build please let me know.
This is the ecu that was in the car. I'm not sure if it will run my car either. I haven't done any research on it
