What would i need to pull from the car before i junk it?
I just answered your question:

ANY B series motors takes AT LEAST:
Engine Mounts (HASPORT, AVID, HCP,ETC)=$300-350
SHIFT LINKAGE-$100
Swaps run $500-1000 for a LS motor $1200+ for a B16, $2500+ for a GSR

EFs use CABLE transmissions, so make sure thats what your getting. TYPICALLY, it takes $2000 to do a B16 swap, if you do the labor yourself. thats the easiest, cheapest, simplest, fastest swap for the money.

YOU MUST wire VTEC for any VTEC ENGINE
YOU MUST use AFTERMARKET MOTOR mounts for any B series motor
YOU MUST use B series axles and shift linkage for any B series motor
YOU MUST use B series motor,dizzy, ECU, tranny, axles, shiftlinkage

There are NO "old skool" integras that came with a B16. NO CARS came with a 1st gen B16 engine that comes with a cable transmission in the United States. they only came in Japan. the only OLD skool integras you could get motors from are
90-93 Acura Integra, they came with B18A motors (LS NON VTEC)

B16s can only be found from JDM IMPORTERS, if you find one at a junkyard, its cause it was swapped already.
