It is pretty easy depending on your model. You will need:
Bolt in mount kit and shift linkage
Complete motor, transmission, ecu, axles, and intermedaite shaft from the integra.
Depending on you model civic you might have to do some wiring changes
From what I hear the performance is good. Low end torque is really good but it is not like a b16 up top. I would go for it. And while you are swapping replace a lot of the wear and tear items. Otherwise you will be kicking yourself when you have to change them when the motor is in the car.

Ok since it is auto, you will need:
Clutch and flywheel
Transmission
ECU
All these can be obtained from another donor teg. I would replace the clutch with either a new stock one or an aftermarket clutch.

looks like too much work and money for just a ls with 70k on it, i would buy it and sell it *depends on how much you get it for*

nah the b18a is a good motor, i am dropping in a b18a in my car with 80k on it. the auto ecu would work with a standard tranny but you will probably have a lower rev limiter. cause my friend with a b16a has an auto ecu in his car and it works but he has a lower rev limiter. yeah and get the standard tranny with a new clutch
yeah we need to know what model you got. cause you might need a resistor box too. you gotta watch out when buying an ecu cause you said its from a 90 teg which makes it a obd0 comp, if you buy a 92-93 teg ecu its obd1 and idk if it will work wiht a obd0 engine
i am hopefully gonna be swaping in the ls motor at the end of august. if you havent done it by then, then i can help you after
