Default what else needs to be done when swap a B18c?

when i swap a B18C1 into my 97 cx, what electrical work and other details need to be done other than the all the mechanical stuff of putting the motor in the car, and bolt it all back together. like how will the gauges work, and how will the climate control work, and what if i want to put in a Si gauge cluster, and how much of the original wiring do i use? if the motor comes complete with the axles, tranmission, and wiring harrness ( like from Hmotorsonline, or passwordJDM ) what else would i need to get?

If you buy a OBD II motor, which you should, the engine harness will plug right into the chassis harness, and the chassis harness right into the ECU. You will need to run a couple of wires, VTEC being one of them, im not sure what alse i think theres a couple more...anyone?

you need 4/5 integra mounts. The top passenger side tranny mount will work from the civic..all other need to be from integra. Need the B-series a/c comp to work as well... Your exhaust may come up a bit short. You are going to have to have one for an ex, or have one bent for you, i think on the EK.... not 100%

you don't need a catalytic converter. the headers bolt right up to your stock exhaust (with you own custom bolts). atleast, thats what i did
