EV1... so you have an HF CRX or standard Civic correct?
The Accord motor will not be a direct swap. You will need to custom fabricate your own motor mounts and axles in order to get this motor in your car. Also your suspension will not be able to handle the added weight of the cast iron A16 block. There are much better motors to swap that will take less effort.
By power wheel I'm assuming you mean power steering. No, it will not work.

swap in a D16A1... iirc, it's a direct bolt in from a teg, you can use the disc brakes and everything else, just need to change some wiring to support the EFI and ECU
Of course, if you don't wanna go through all the trouble to swap wiring, you could always find a vacuum advance dizzy for a D16A1, and then put a side draft carb on the intake where the throttle body would be, yes, it works, I've done it for a gokart before. just need to find a decent sized carb, something that will support 1.6 or 1.8 liters, and at least 280-340 CFM.
The vacuum advance dizzy, I can't remember what we used, but you can either rebuild the one on the engine with vacuum advance, you can get one custom made, or you can try to fit one from another engine.
