hmotors won't respond to an email. They never have. Call Steve midweek, like on a Wednesday. You'll get the best attention then (Tuesday is, or at least was, shipment day... hectic, and you'll be rushed off the phone quickly.)
I got the full changeover myself, and as mentioned, many things were totally unneeded. You'll be using your Accord axles, mounts, fuel rail, etc... Still, getting an OBD1 H22A makes life a LOT easier when swapping.
Buy any seals, gaskets, and bearings directly from Honda. Don't buy a "kit". You're just paying someone to assemble the parts for you. It's convenient, but pointless. As mentioned, any parts in a kit are likely going to be inferior parts. If they're quality parts, you'll be paying way too much. Most of the parts you'll be using are very important parts, and if they fail, you may do major damage to other important (and expensive) bits. Get your parts from Honda. The initial expense will hurt... but the peace of mind you'll get from using OEM parts will be worth it. Not to mention the fact that OEM parts are going to fit perfectly without any issues, whereas aftermarket parts can be a little off sometimes.
www.hondaautomotiveparts.com is a good source for inexpensive parts. They often have the best prices you'll find, though some places will be better. Shipping can be stupid high at times... not sure why. All OEM stuff, though.
