1988 CRX AFAIK has very little room in the frontal area

i aided in the process of a b18c into a 88 crx a few years back - we got the power steering in - off the top of my head we used a single EG civic radiator + no air conditioning ( no cooler, giving space for the pulley).
There is a way !
good luck

I'd be carefull about just cutting away the body like that!

in the states they dont use the power steering, hence hasports designing the mounts like that. u still got your power steering man? how much is it hitting by?

SNOOG_GEE start your own thread about this, don't hijack someone elses. But to quickly answer. You will need a half cut, shift linkage, mounts (make sure you get the left hand side bracket if your doing b18c), axles, if your using a hydro gearbox you need the cable-hydro conversion, and you will need someone to rewire the wiring loom.
Now back to topic, when I did my conversion into a civic, it was a very tight fit, but it did just fit (using hasport mounts, couple of mm clearance). I decided to get rid of the P/S pump though, coz it was a track car and didn't see the use.
But it all depends on how close it is to hitting. If its not far try bashing it a bit in, I wouldn't be cuting anything though.

iv driven a B16A GenII without the power stearing attached, it was suprisingly ok to drive with out poer stearing, quite a light front end.

likewise. i really dont think its necessary. you are moving small wheels and they are rather light cars. parking is the only invconvienience, and even that isnt a huge issue.
id prefer it without
