Ok, so i just ordered a few more parts to get just that much closer to my swap being complete...But i have a few questions.
I plan on keeping my ac and ps for now at least and read that if im dropping in an ls or gsr that i have to get either a crv or 96-97 del sol ac bracket to retain it. Well the complete ls that i got came with ac compressor and bracket and was wondering based on anyone trying it if i can indeed reuse this bracket since the crv(b20) one will work and the motors from the outside are exactly identical(minus bigger bore and slightly higher sitting intake manifold)
Also was wondering if anyone knew if i could reuse my trans torque mount and bracket or if that needs to be replaced also?

Oh and on a side note, just figured id also ask if anyone had done any tinkering and figured out if another drivers side mount bracket other then an si would work, only ask cause i got a bunch of older integra mount brackets laying around and figured id just ask before buying the si one
Thanks for the help

when i did my b16a swap i used the ac compressor bracket from my old d16y8 motor one of the bolts wouldent match up but its been fine for months so i dont care. i'd replace any motor mount you can when you can. not everytime you pull the motor but i reused the motor mounts my b16a came with so i think you can use it again im not fully sure what your asking there tho. dont know about the teg brackets but i believe the are the same frame as the civic so i dont see why they wouldent work. just my 2cents.

Yeah im actually about to replace all mounts as the ones i currently have are shot, so figured replace em now then deal with the bs later
Now did your b16 swap come with a tranny and if yeah did it come with the trans bracket that is located on top of the tranny? If not were you able to reuse the one from your y8?
And also the trans torque mount bracket off your y8...were you able to reuse that on your b16 swap or did you have to get a new one for the b16 tranny? Thanks

gl w/build
Thanks
