Motor Swap: About A/C, Radiator, and etc...plz help; TIA
After doing some searches and called H-Motor Online, I have decided to get the JDM B16A SiR2 w/LSD for my lovely 93CX. Here are the things that I am not 100% certain, even with searches, so maybe some kind ones can help confirming?
-Radiator Upper/Lower hoses. I am going to get the dual core del sol radiator, so do I have to buy a new set of hoses for the Del Sol, or the B16A radiator hoses from inlinefour.com will be fine?
-A/C bracket. I found that I will need to get a new one, since the one for the CX won't work. Am I right that the best way is order from dealer the A/C Compressor bracket for the 94-95 Del Sol?
-Exhaust. I am very confused on whether I should buy something like the Apexi WS for 92-95 Civic, but I was told it will NOT bolt up if I do the motor swap. Custom made is my only option then? I prefer not to have loud exhaust noise, so am still thinking on how to do this.
-Throttle Cable. I do not know if my CX one will work, b/c Steve never told me if he will have one included with the B16 motor. If I really need to change it, must I get the one for the ITR?
I apologize for being a n00b, but I did searches before hand so I can avoid asking question like what do I need for a motor swap in general...or something like that. I just want to figure out the little things, so they can be ordered at the same time when I order my long awaited B16
Appreciated for any helpful info in advance!

Hmm, I posted my msg in the wrong forum even it's about EG. My bad...will any mod. please move my thread to the hybrid forum? I really need answers to my questions and do not want to double post. Thank you!
hmmm let me see if i can help...i believe the radiator hoses can be used from the car it came from...for example since its a b16a2 you can use civic si radiator hoses im sure the del sol ones would be fine...the del sol a/c bracket should work...if not the civic si one would bolt up...ummm lets see what else...not sure about that year civics on exhaust...but you could always get the exhaust made for the car and get a carsound cat because i believe its universal so it should bolt up
Thank you for the answers, they are great! I completely forgot about the 99-00 Si 
-Now I wonder if I need throttle cable or can I reuse my CX one?
-Oh, so I can use the plug wires, spark plugs that are made for the 99-00 Si as well?
-One big question I forgot to ask is the *fuel pump*...I am thinking of getting another one since thats the orignial I am using (10 yrs old), and I dont know which Civic (or Integra) fuel pump will work the best?
Thanks again for any info.
