Need info on swapping an engine

Whats up guys (and girls). Im new to these forums and pretty new to actually doing an engine swap myself. I just mainly had one question. Do I need to get a new clutch for when I swap a B16a2, B18C, or a H22a into a civic?

If the motor/tranny you get has a good clutch then you wouldnt need a new one...but it wouldnt be a bad idea to put a new one in when you have the motor out.

it's always easier changing the clutch when the motor is out and you might as well change the waterpump/timing belt.check out jdmshit.com for swaps or totalboost.com just make sure you research everything before you start buying stuff

i tink u should change the clutch anyways, unless its brand new. people will say u have a brand new clutch in der, but its always best to check.

before you do the swap, its always best to change timing belt, water, rear main seal etc.......
