Did the hatch come with p/s or no? If not then you need to get the steering rack first thing and all associated p/s parts for a 96-00 civic. If it did you get to skip all that.

You have to wire in the p/s switch on the p/s line if not equipped with p/s from factory. You will need any B series lower p/s bracket that bolts to the block and then a non VTEC upper bracket. Then you can get any 98-01 Integra or 99-00 civic EM1 p/s pump. This will retain your factory lines and bolt right up.

You have rack/pinion steering now, why do you need power steering??
I hear people removing them not installing them, your steering gear box will look like this... Honda Automotive Parts a power steering gear box, [from a 2000 Civic Si] looks like this... Honda Automotive Parts

Easy way to tell is the PS gear box has the PS fluid lines on it, #s 19 & 20... Honda Automotive Parts

As PR8urVtec posts you will need to get all the PS components and install them, IMO all your doing is adding weight and loosing feel. 94

You would need the 96-00 CIVIC p/s rack not the integra rack. Basically the way I instructed you above is to get a civic p/s rack to work with a Integra p/s pump. Do not get the integra rack.

You will need everything chassis related from a 96-00 civic w/ p/s.

The OP has plainly stated he has a "LS" swap... no VTEC head. This means that the upper P/S bracket MUST be a P74/P75 bracket from a '94-01 Integra LS/RS/GS in order to use the Integra P/S pump. The PR3 or P72 upper brackets stated above will NOT work. Another option would be to use the stock '96-00 Civic P/S pump mounted to the '97-01 CRV P/S bracket... it also bolts to the LS block and head.
As for A/C, you will need the complete system from a '96-00 Civic (Compressor, condenser, fan, lines and dryer) and an A/C bracket from a '94-97 Del Sol VTEC (DOHC) or '97-01 CRV.

Ah you are correct. For some reason I read LS/VTEC (brain fart). Yes, non VTEC upper bracket or CRV will work. Thanks for the correction JRCivic1.

Edited my posts above so they are accurate.

Why does the brackets for the a/c have to be different? and not the ones from a civic.

The bracket depends on the a/c compressor you are using. With the CRV / del sol (B series) bracket it will allow the D series a/c compressor to be used and that will allow you to use all the stock civic a/c lines. If you use a B series a/c compressor you will need the 99-00 civic a/c bracket and 99-00 civic SI lines to work with a B series compressor.
