Im thinking of buying an H22 package for my civic hatch. I have seen you can get them for some pretty good deals, but I know there are extras needed to fit this swap in. If I removed my old engine out and towed it too a shop, do you think that would help me save on labour cost of getting one in my car?

 

I think it would probably save a little bit, I'm not sure how much. But why not do the swap yourself? I've read a ton of write-ups for h22 swaps... the hardest parts is the wiring... everything else just takes a lot of time.

And here's some of the extras you'll need:
-swap motor mounts (you have to get a mount kit... none of the stock ones will work)
-swap axles (I believe you can use some combination of integra axles, but I'm not sure)
-accord fuel rail (or you can run a 4' fuel line across the engine bay)

It'll be $3-4k if you do it yourself.. for the cost of taking it to a shop to have the swap done, you could actually do a k20a2 swap assuming you did the labor.
