I believe the dimensions of the H23a are a tad bit larger then the h22a.

I am not sure about the mounting locations though. If you have a h22a I'm sure you can use the h23a one, you might need to make minor adjustments to the mounts though.

You should just save yourself the trouble and get the proper one. I have a Prelude S radiator and my car is VTEC the rasdiator sits right but the fans don't bolt up on the proper points. I had to do some janky ghetto riggin to get my fans to stay (copper wire and duct tape). Not to mention that I had to clip the edges of my radiator fan blades because they were hitting the front engine mount.

Yea...Mounting on H22 radiators is a little different then H23s radiator. But the main thing is the mounting of the fans. I my self have a H23 radiator on my H22, but I have the H23 fans too, so it all matches.

I believe the Prelude S radiators were only half rads too.
