Default looking at 90 integra

I know about 92 Civic 1.5, I'm looking at a 90 Integra and have some questions:
How do you know if it's GS/LS/or RS?
Is it supposed to have a 1.6 or 1.8?
Owner says all four coils are cracked(common), is this true?
Is it OBD 0 or 1?
Cost effective or swappablility to think about using the motor, tranny, front brake setup or rear brake setup in my gen 5?

Searching tells me it would less expensive to fix the integra and not swap stuff over.

90 Integra :stick, cracked susp coils, trailing bushes bad, 185,000 miles-$500.

92 Civic:stick, stock 1.5, just redid all bushes(some poly, some stock, rear shocks KYB, clutch, brakes, exhaust etc., 15" wheels,everything works, 245,000 miles.

Opinions or advice on what to look for as far as expensive stuff or hard to get parts on the Integra.

This car doesn't say on the back- but it has no power options and no A/C if that helps.
Do the stock coils crack or break? Why do they? And do aftermarket ones crack too?

Thanks for the reply.
Anyone know about major stuff to look at(problem areas)?

i would definately check the idle, let it warm up and see how it idles. motor mounts, alignment and tire wear, bushings, rust, see if there are any tranny grinds while shifting. any oil leaks, etc. thats all that i can think of off hand.
