The bushings cover the 99-00si and a 92-95 gsr plus any del sol from 92-95, so the sohc isn't an issue since some of the cars are sohc and some are dohc, some are vtec and some are non-vtec. this is why it doesn't make sense. The same kit that is supposed to be for an obd0 d15 crx non-vtec is also the same bushing kit that is for the obd2 civic or the obd1 vtec gsr. there is no rhyme or reason. This is what is making me think that maybe the bushings are actually for like a 96-98 civic and they got stickered for the other cars that I listed. I may have to go to some place that has the in stock just to see another set of bushings for a 92-95 civic and see the size. I also plan on emailing hasport but I just wanted to see if anyone else has run into an issue like this that just requires a different year model part.
Also keep in mind this motor came in the 92-95 civic hatch in japan, so while it is possible that they used a different shift linkage than what they were already producing, why wouldn't they just grab the 90-93 integra linkage, since that works for this swap as well? I don't have the answer but just seems odd.
