... huh??

what you'll need is the the SI front tranny bracket, driver side bracket, and rear bracket. The top tranny bracket can be used off of your stock motor. and like you said a DOHC del sol AC bracket. you can use all your stock mounts ( meaning the actual mount 'rubber part' the brackets are the peices that bolt to the block). But as Eric said you sould buy some aftermarket rubber.

Alrite i went to honda today to get some parts and the guy behind the counter is tellin me that my power steering pump from my ex wont work ? is that true or is that guy talkin out his ass ?

well you should be using the one from a SI. Your d-series pump and bracket are not going to bolt to the SI block. As well as anything else. No D-series specific parts will bolt to the B-series block.

So the ex pump wont work on the si bracket ?

Going off smooth criminals post, no it won't.

yep. When I did my swap, I wanted to keep it clean and not remove the PS, also keeping the fluid from going EVERYWHERE. I found a way to remove and drop in the engine without disconnecting the PS pump from the lines. I then tried to bolt it up with no luck. oh well, then looped it 5 minutes later. You need a b series PS pump

also, I recommend not going to honda for all of those brackets. Its going to cost you a ton. search on Honda-tech classifieds or junkyards or somewhere like that. Spending 70 a bracket is just horrible.

Alrite thanks man and thanks to everyone else who has replied and helped me out.
