I've moved this to the appropriate section...
First off I'm assuming that you dropped a stock D series from the car, and have a B series trans, clutch and ECU to go with it?
You need any 94-01 integra drive shafts and shift linkage. There may be other things you'll need but I don't know what you have and don't have.
short list, ie things you need...
engine
trans
mounts
shafts
linkage
intake manifold
exhaust manifold
engine harness
fuel rail
starter
clutch
flywheel
distributor
alternator
all from B series, maybe a few other things I can't think of, you should have all the sensors as well tho most of those could transfer over, as well as the throttle body, tho you really should have a B series one cause a little D series one would be like breathing thru a straw.
You can upgrade things during the swap to help make the most of the swap and it's power gains. This list would be seemingly endless tho, but the best bang for your buck mods would be basic bolt ons like a good intake and exhaust manifold, intake, throttle body, light weight flywheel (don't go too light unless pure race car) and so on.
Knowing a little about the B series you have, the B20 is a great bottom end, but you can bring that motor too life cheap with an intake cam from a non VTEC B18 from a car that had a manual trans originally (The auto cam was not much different than your b20 one) The manual version of the B18 had a lot better profile at higher RPM, where the B20 will seem to fall flat up top. A b16 trans is a great way to gain some acceleration as well, tho harder on the fuel tank, a gsr is a good compromise for some and could be found with an LSD. ITR/CTR trans would be the better options but $$$.
