Default Dropping my b18c1 into a 99 civic hatch?

two days ago, I was rear ended in my 99 gsr. The car is going to be salvaged but I am gunna keep it for the motor and buy a 99 hatch to swap the motor into it. Do I need anything or will everything just drop right in? Can I use the stock motor mounts? I am in california and I know the motor has to be the same year as the car or newer and you have to use all the origanal parts and computer. Anything else I need to know?

The guy lives in Cali. You have to use the same year or newer or he wont pass Cali inspection.

I think that you are going to need one or two of the 99si coupe motor mounts but I can't remember which one right now
