Default SWAPPING B16A1 IN 89 CRX SI

hey im sure this has been answered many times and i kno i asked this question a while back when i got my crx but my dad got a condo at the beach and i was there all summer so i forgot... what all do i need to do a b16a1 swap into my 89 crx si? i bought the car with the engine mounts re-welded so i can just use the stock motor mounts on the engine... and im getting the obd0 b16 so should i just be able to use my stock si harness? and im not even sure if i have all the plugs on the harness, so would i be better to just throw the harness in that the b16 comes with? how hard would that be for a newbie? and im planning on doing the swap myself to now that the guy that was doing it moved and everyone else around here charges a rediculous amout of money. so let me know how possible all this is and hook me up with some links maybe on the swap and maybe a chart or something on changing the wire harness. THANKKKK YOUUU

Look in the FAQ section at the top of the CRX/EF forum.

I have a B16 OBD 0 1st gen, I used my stock Si harness and it works fine, as for the swapp it wasnt to hard, I had help from a friend who had a lil bit of experiance on swapping motors.

okay the only thing is i bought the shell from a kid that didnt know for sure the previous motor that was in it so im not sure if it is the stock si harness anyway... is there anyway to tell if it is the stock harness? or if it might be a ls harness or something?

i kno to use the stock harness but im saying... the person before me had another engine in there and im not sure if it is the stock harness in the car... it might be a harness from another motor he had.... so how can i tell if it is a harness that will work if i drop the b16a1 in?
