Default Advice on removing front engine mount on B16 into CRX conversion????

The process of installing the B16 into the CRX which has been recommended involves using the 3 Hasport mounts, and removing the front mount from the front cross member.
What is the consensus on this method?
Are there likely to be any probs when I get the inspection to get the new engine number passed for change of rego?
Am I likely to get referred for an engineers report who will then condemn it because the mounts have compromised the stability of the donk????

It requires cutting off the mount bracket on the front cross member. If you do it right the repaint it, you could make it look like it came that way. I see no reason why it would ever be questioned, I doubt anyone would ever even notice that the mounts is/is not supposed to be there. I've had a B18 in my 91 CRX for over 3 years now using HASport billet mounts and have had no problems at all.
