I am doing the same swap and have HCP mounts and they say to use the 90-93 integra upper and lower radiator hoses, just trim to fit. not sure about the abs axles.

integra rad hose works but it is big on the civic rad need to clamp it down good, you can get it for a 99-00 si or the 93-97 Del Sol SiR both of which are USDM cars with civic rads and B series motors...

as for axles, 90-93 integra axles, as long as you have the 90-93 mid shaft, if you have the 94+ mid shaft you will need a drivers axle for 94+ and I believe if you have a cble tranny you will need to change the axles seal in the tranny...90+ Integras use the same passanger axle

90-93 Integra for both of those, I used my stock clutch cable but it seems some people are saying theres are short? Throttle cable yea you need the 90-93 Interga or make your own bracket that mounts to the intake to make up for the civic cable

the radiator hoses really pissed me off.....

used stock civic lower and it was a BITCH to squeeze it onto the thermo housing

used DA teg upper and had to hack the hell out of it, and it's still more kinked than I'd like (doesn't look stock)

i didn't see any way to use the stock civic upper rad hose.....
