Distributor-----------Check- Si
Alternator/Pulley-----Check - Si

Cooling Fan Switch---I'm using old thermostat housing do I need to go Junking for a diff one? I already purchased a new thermostat to be safe

MAP Sensor----------Same deal, its the old throttle body... where should I do this connection at? Or can I keep it where it was?

Will any of this affect my performance?

Default Engine Mount

So I can't get the opposite half instead of the internal half?, Let me guess it wouldn't bolt up correctly...

i honestly don't know for sure - we always just swap the one on the block since we have both when doing the swap - i suppose you could try the part of the mount on the body from 92-95 Civic and see if it fits

if all of the parts are from the Si, then it just connects up like it was Si, as far as wiring, MAP, etc. - you can swap the Si cooling fan switch onto the D16A block - just remove the bolt that is in the same location and screw in the switch from the D16A6 - i am used to doing these swaps where we get a complete engine and drop it in, so it is easier for us to just to change a few things on the engine - if you are using your distributor, intake manifold, throttle body, aternator, etc. then you essentially have a D16A6 with 118hp due to the compression ratio being 9.4:1 instead of 9.1:1 - it will affect your performance, in that it will be better - other than that there is no difference

Default Alright perfect

Yea I am doing it the hard way in that I will have to go through and replace some of the older 'recycled' components later on but I have all new sensors and hoses, filters ect.

This means other than the engine mount Im good to go... I would just really prefer to swap the external car mounted bracket rather than the internal engine mount half of the bracket

Default Okay...

The mount has been switched, took a little longer but my D16a is ready to go in, as soon as I pull the old block(X), remove the crank pulley( ) and put the new flywheel / clutch kit on.( ) (Stock I'll upgrade later on if I need em.) Oh and the alternator belt... ( )not bad.

X Remove old block.
X Swap on engine mounts
Install clutch kit (waiting for flywheel bolts)
Install flywheel (Broke a socket which stripped a bolt and now I gotta wit for the dealer to order them in for me... sigh
Drop "new' engine

Radiator
hoses
wires
battery base
battery
fluids
gas and go

500 miles swap fluids then then go go go

Thank you to all of you (jlicrx) who helped me with these minor issues
