Default Prove It...

Ok, so im still in the research and homework stage of my B18C GSR 5-spd swap into my 1999 EJ8 slushbox, and im just trying to clear things up with my dad, because hes going to be in this with me. What im trying to prove to him, is that importing a JDM clip from a GSR with the RHD components that you can take all of that shit and transfer it over to the civic, which is of course left hand drive. He doesnt think that it can be done, and has never believed in anything foreign made anyway. What i need to know is that re-arranging the pedals and putting in the clutch pedal, along with all of the cables and shift linkage, will work when taking all of it, EVERYTHING, from the RHD GSR and transferring it to the ex.

I know that the shift housing and components will fit, with little fab, and i know i have to either change around a few plugs and match up the pins with the harness, or buy a 99-01 USDM GSR harness, along with a 99-00 rear si mounts. I just need to know that this swap can be done taking all of the shit (pedals, housing, linkage, cables, harness, etc.) and putting everything from the GSR clip into the civic. Im assuming that i should try and use all of the B's engine bay (radiator, fans, P/S, A/C, coolant lines) just because im not sure if the civic's will be enough to run worry free with the engine, correct me if im wrong. Im just trying not to run into any hassels that are going to cause problems when the time comes to drop it in, and my dad needs fricken proof that the RHD GSR clip can be transferred into a 6th gen civic chassis. Be easy, this is my first swap and im still learning with these motors, along with getting my DL recently. If you can point me in the right direction with any of these questions, thanks.
