You'll need an a/c compressor and power steering pump to match what ever engine block you're putting in. So the d15 a/c compressor and power steering pump can go...

Leave the rad/heater lines/hoses. I believe you should leave the wiring harness as well.

Do you know which motor mounts you need?

Do you have the AC compressor and PS unit from the donor eg? Did the donor eg have ac installed?

I believe you can use your existing compressor as long as you get the right bracket for it. I believe you need to use a 1996-1997 del Sol VTEC bracket. (only eg/eh chassis that came with a stock B series in the USDM)
