Default del sol swap

Hey, lets say I got a good deal on a wrecked 94 del sol si and just picked it up for parts. I want to take a bunch of shit off of the si model and swap them over to my sister's 93 s model. What all would be needed to do the following:
1)put the rear disc brakes from the si to the s? would it be ABS?
2)The motor and tranny seem easy enough to swap just to get a few more hp and actually have vtec. Is there anything that would be beneficial to do while swapping the motors/ trans.....?
3) The s doesnt have power steering and the si does. What would it take to get the power steering system in the s model?
4) power mirrors?
5)cruise control?


I think that pretty much covers everything.
The only mods would be an AEM CAI, cat back exhaust. What is the best bang for the buck when doin shit to hondas? I'm a Nissan guy, sorry.

Thanks, JEFF

There would be no ABS, Si's did not have it. The Vtec model did.

Swap a B series or build the Z6 while it is out.

Keep the S manual rack. Swapping the S model rack into the SI and Vtec models is a common thing to do.

Power mirrors? Not worth it.

Cruise control, Not worth it imo.

Haven't had time to do anything until now. How easy is it to pull the motor and the trans? I'm used to RWD where you unbolt them and it all comes out together. FWD you have to disconnect the axles and the trans from the motor b4 pulling out or no? Thanks

1) easy . no abs to worry about
3) steering rack and lines.. pump and bracket will fit either engine
4) sols only came with power mirrors
5) easily transerrable.
