Ok yea I'm not sure about the rubber mount, that one you will just have to test fit and compare.  If so then you should be good to use that setup.

I had already installed aftermarket gauges when I ran the EW (tach/shift light, oil pressure, volt meter, water temp) but if I delete the tach/shift light, it will probably be about the same weight. I assumed the ECU needed the speed info, just wasn't sure how bad. As long as everyone else is behind me, I have no need for a speedometer, however, it may be beneficial for deciding on better tranny gears or tire sizes.

1 question about the engine/tranny mount to the crossmember. Will the entire teg mount/bracket not bolt to the CRX crossmember? I have seen others that used the CRX bracket but there is a cast piece that also serves as a spacer between the intake support and block, which is not present on the CRX bracket. I have the teg cross member out but I'm not using the heavy power steering. It "appears" the teg mount would bolt directly to the CRX crossmember but most I've read says it doesn't. I'm pulling the teg rear suspension today and dragging the carcass out into the 10" of snow we got Thursday.

Are you talking about the rear transmission to subframe mount?  The three bolt holes on the CRX to the Integra don't line up, if you take both off and look at them side by side it's noticeable.  Using the Integra subframe allows for no modification to the rear mount, but the bolt holes for the steering rack are offset due to the power steering rack, my original plan was to use the manual rack, but was easier to run power steering.  Also you get the stiffer and thicker torsion bars with the Integra.  For your setup you might want to save the weight and use the manual rack on the Integra subframe so you will need to modify the steering rack brackets to mount it.

I just came in from the shop from pulling my 89 5 door harness (took 2 months to find one). Installing into an 86 CRX DX but its a track only car so as soon as I get a diagram, all non essential wiring will be culled. It should be a testament that this is still occurring 24 years later.....

If I can ask a VSS question, what effect does it have on engine performance? I am prepared to install the gauge pod/speedo cable/VSS in the car, but i'm curious how essential it is to engine performance. I assume it affects the ECU significantly but I'd rather not add the weight.

Yeah they are getting harder to find these days, but still a popular platform.  As far as the VSS goes, it just gives the ECU a speed signal so it can adjust fuel trim depending on the speed of the car, along with the actual rpm and load with the MAP and CYL sensors.  Honestly, the weight of the gauge cluster is barely a couple pounds but worth having the info like oil pressure, battery and brake warning lights.
