Your engine harness is completely different and by that I mean they will NOT swap over without MAJOR modification. You're going from one design chassis to another.

You're going from OBDiia to OBDi. If you have emissions where they plug inot the car and look at codes / readiness it will never pass.

Your dash harness will NOT plug into your engine harness.

Will it all bolt in?

Yes it will but since your potential car is an auto I would take a hard look at the passenger upper mount. It SHOULD all swap over and bolt in though.

The only one I know for fact is not a bolt in is the CVT to stick shift. The body side upper mount holes are different.

If you're serious about swapping the VX drive train stick with 92-95 civics.
