they will prolly get mad at me but go check out my FAQ's on hondasociety in the hybrid forum.

the main issues with h22's in 5th gens is the internal/external coil thing, the ecu pin swaping (gotta swap pin A6 and A11) and vacume lines .

having a 96-97 accord makes it kinda hard. you have to get a skunk2 wiring harness adaptor and convert it to obd1 and change a few wires around in the engine bay.

if you wana keep it obd2 the only motor that will plug in is the 96 h22a the 97+ h22 ecu has immobilizer and has different pinouts for the ecu.

the exhaust is also an issue, you have to cut the exhaust b/c the h22 header is about 16 inches longer than the accord header.

for power steering you have to get a custom line made and i hear you can use a 97 prelude line, but only one person that i know of did that.
