Default Prelude Engine Swap

i didnt really know where to post this, so i figured this was a good location. But right now, I'm looking into a project car with my friend. He is looking to buy a 91 prelude, right now i'm not sure if its the b20a3 or a5, which would be a difference of like 30 hp and pgm-fi. (the s vs si). However i found out that these arent really considered part of the b-series engines bc they arent compatible with any other of the b-series. Now my question would be, if we got this lude, to swap an engine in... we would need engine (all components), harness, ecu, axles, correct? but if it turns out to be the si, we could just build that... or if its the s, we could swap in an a5, and just need to replace the ecu and maybe the harness? what do you guys think? any help/comments are appreciated.

While you are swapping, why not an H22? Would that fit in there?

well the big issue would be money... not something we have a lot of.
