Default B18A into 88-91 shopping list

I am planning on swapping a B18a into my car and would like to have a list of everything I need to make the swap dependable. I have searched but I have only found bits and pieces of information. This is what I have so far.

B18a engine
90-93 Integra transmission
88-89 Integra axles
Engine mounts
Ecu – anyone have any suggestions on what would be best of a daily driver?
Clutch – what’s a good one for an all motor daily driver?

I am not sure about the other parts I need. But I am thinking seals, hoses, belts, water pump, thermostat, and more. If you have a list of know of a site that does please post it here.
Thanks
Buddy

Not really... you just use the wiring harness off your old motor

90-91 b18a, easier to wire in than a 92-93
cable tranny
b18a pr4 ecu
aftermarket mount kit
90-93 teg axles with 90-93 teg intermediate shaft
mpfi wiring swap if u have a dx
upper and lower 90-93 teg radiator hoses
90-93 clutch cable if u dont wanna modify your stock cable, with the stock clutch cable u gotta cut off alittle bit of the cover to make the wire longer
90-93 throttle cable, not neccesary just for looks, if u got the dx u can wrap it around the engine bay and make it fit but doesnt look as good
u need the teg rear and driver side brackets
and do the little stuff if u got the time and money, like front and rear main seal, water pump, timing belt, spark plugs wires, dist cap and rotor, clutch
thats all i can think of right now

or you can jsut get a shorter alternator belt and pull the alternator all the way forward on the bracket instead of beating up on the car. I have the mounts and linkage for sale also by the way, see my sig, And I've got an B18A motor tranny and PR4 ecu I'll sell, if you can give me the right price and you pay shipping.
