Does anyone know of this problem occurring in 1997 Civics? If so, are there methods to solving this problem???

What most people do is to stash the factory radio behind/below newer one. There should be enough space there, you could try removing the faceplate if it doesnt fit.
And then, when you hook up your new one, use a T-harness to connect both radios to your existing plug. Crutchfield has the one below, and i'm sure there are others.

you need a reverse harness.
basically you have to shove the stock head unit down into the console and connect the yellow red and black wires to the other harness.
