Yes it will fit the engine in the 91 should be a D15A and the motor in the Del Sol should be a B16A3 right? You would need to take and get special motor mounts for that and you will need to use a tranny from a civic EX, or something with a D series with a hydro tranny. The shift linkage from the EF is to short and the tranny is cable and the del sol is a hydro so you need a new tranny or do a rigged setup which works but I wouldent trust it myself. You will also need to use the wire harness and ecu from a EG with a D16Y7 for the non vtec setup and the intake manifold from a Y7. there are a few more things if you really wanna know the whole deal you can PM me for details. See It isnt worth it but yeah you can do it and it is a huge downgrade. Just sell the motor and buy a D16Y8 and or a Bseries VTEC motor and trans and you will e goood my advise dont put that pos motor in a del sol.

The civic could have a D15A, D15B2, D15B6, D16A6 depending on the model. Also, I doubt he found himself a Del Sol VTEC. Chances are it's either a Del Sol S with a d15b7 (or d16y7 depending on year) or a Del Sol Si with the D16z6 (or d16y8 depending on year). The Del Sol VTECs are pretty rare.

Personally, I'd just keep the engine in the del sol.
