I don't think you are going to have to much of an issue. I have a friend who just completed this in his vert, identical swap.

If you have existing a\c, I would unbolt the compressor from the blown engine, and keep everything sealed and then just bolt it back up. If the a\c stuff was not there before, then replace the dryer and keep it sealed until you're ready to bolt everything up and vacuum down the system. The lines and everything should be OK since you're using dohc lines/compressor.


You will need to follow one of the 5spd guides out there, there is an extra step iirc for the verts. I did a sr swap/5spd at the same time, but there are 2 wires that you need to hookup for the speedo to work. There is a plug underneath the passenger engine fuse box, you have to jumper to start the car and that should be it. I think on the vert there is another relay for the electric top to work. It needs to know the car is in P. Again, just search S13 5spd swap.

I would suggest picking up a cheap haynes dual fan controller, and wiring up your a\c condenser fan. It should an a\c manual override.
