Default CD7 K24 swap questions

I've got a manual F22B2 95 accord. I'm curious on how would you keep ac and power steering and if possible add obd2? I like the idea of the h22 but the k swap is easier for me then the h swap. If anyone has driven both or has experience is there preference towards either motor and if so why?

I would NEVER delete ac and power steering. What's the point of making a car worse to gain 3hp or something absurd.

I haven't driven K in a CD chassis accord, but I have a K20A in my DC5 Integra (RSX).

The K is a much more modern engine, which is better in some ways including diagnostics and just general packaging (it is lighter in terms of the engine and transmission weight itself, easier to access the intake manifold and throttle and so on due to it being reversed 180 degrees from H/F series etc).

That said, for a CD chassis, an H swap is MUCH less work (and less needing to change things to make it work), and would offer similar performance. For me it'll come down to price and how much work you are willing to do.

For H22, if you plan to do further mods, can look into OBD1 and chip and tune. If you plan to just plug and play, do a complete h22 swap and keep it obd2

care to elaborate? I can't think of a scenario where a K-swap would be easier than the H22.
