http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/tech/0311scc_hybrid/ will show you the process and how to goes for the most part, the only difference being they used a hasport kit that was never put into production (because of the ease of install with stock motor mounts there really wasnt much there to do) i believe you use all but one of the stock mounts, the otherone just needs to be machined from one of the remaining mounts to fit.
for the engine almost everybody on here will suggest www.hmotorsonline.com their engines are in grade A condition and they come to you performing and looking good. you would be looking for the h22a swap....
if the car you have is a manual 5 sp. you are all set, if it is automatic i'd have to tell you to sell it and buy a manual as it will be easier and alot less hassle, it will cost less in the long run aswell.

I did an automatic to manual conversion on my buddy's '89 CRX. Cost him $550, I got it done in two days.
No reason whatsoever to sell the car.
