you will need an Si rear mount and Si front upper driverside mount. You will have to use your stock civic harness, the Integra has a 2 piece harness and the civic has a 1 piece harness. Your better off finding an EX harness from a 96-98 Civic since it already has the vtec wiring. Are you getting a full swap as in axles, shiftlinkage?? You can find an OBD conversion harness on Ebay, or try www.jdmshit.com Try to Find an OBD2 GSR or LS motor would be a little easier

yea im doin the full swap...what year does the mounts have to be off? and the reason im doin obd1 is i already gotta gsr. im pulling motor out this weekend so i figured easier than selling it and looking for a new one. My engine is about 35 pounds heavier. I hear that its a good idea to change but not needed. But knowing the way imma drive it im SURE im going to get new axles...

you need mounts off a 2000 Si, you would also need an OBD2 distributor, alternator and maybe injectors, cause your stock civic harness plugs are different.
