Default Wiring Hell - OBD2 car/OBD1 motor

After a summer of playing with the Jeep instead of being a good boy and finishing my first project, I'm looking to get my swap finished.

Details: 96 (obd2) DX Civic, 93 (obd1) B18C motor, obd1 GSR ECU

What I know: - I know it's not common b/c it won't pass smog tests. - I know I haven't been able to find any wiring diagrams or instructions b/c it's a problematic swap. - I know I need a Skunk2 (Or other brand) harness adapter to run the ECU.

What I need your help with: Anybody have any links for sites that either A. Offer a wire-snipping DIY guide for this mother of a problem or B. sell a plug-n-play harness for this swap kind of like what HASport offers?

I've been lazy. This swap is taking forever. I don't entirely mind. Just the same, it'd be nice to get out and play once before the summer is up. Can anybody help, please?

Gotta run out but here's a real quick link that's good.

It's for an OBD II swap into an OBD II car but if you basically follow the same steps (you gotta swap your DX Civic engine harness onto the new engine and add additional wires for VTEC and the knock sensor and whatnot) but plug an OBD II to OBD I converter between the computer and wiring harness, it should work just fine.

Not sure if they are still able to get you the parts, but worth a shot.

If you really can't handle this, give hasport a call, they have everything you need.
