Default wireing issues with b18b in 92 VX

i am currently faced with the issue of wireing. i have found that the passengers side harnesses of the b18b (JDM :-/) match up with the drivers side of my civic and vise versa, is there any easy way to handle this. also i have found that i have four passenger side harnesses and 3 drivers side harnesses in my civic. on the b18 there are olny 3 on each side, am i overlooking somthing? any help is appreciated. i'll try to get better about wording things next post.

Use your original engine harness. is the engine the same generation as the chassis?

Again, use your original engine harness. There is no point in trying to adapt the JDM engine harness.

Don't use the JDM harness, use the harness that originally came on your stock engine. You might have to do some rewiring for your O2 sensor, cause the VX uses a 5-wire.

What year is the swap motor?
