Default swapping in a d15b into a automatic 95 civic ex

Ok, i'm just swapping out my brothers d16z ex sohc vtec motor for a d15b 1.5 vtec motor. the car ia a automatic, so basiclly i'm just changing motors. the question i have since i have never swap a automatic out, i was wonder f anythign special was needed for the swap. i have done a manual tranny, but not a automatic. is the proccess that same. also the car is a ex/the new motor is a d15b(jdm) with the 130hp. also last question, do i need the ecu from the 1.5 d15b?

I haven't performed this type of swap either, but I do know you WILL need the ecu for the auto engine. So, keep the auto EX ecu and use it on the D15B engine.

I assume it would be the same. Like I said, I haven't done this specific type of swap either.
