i just bought a civic ef i was thinking about doing a obd1 ls swap would i have any problems passing emissions if i did the swap as long as i had a cat and everything is done right and running smooth? and also is it possible to install an alarm when it has manual locks and windows im just scared somebody is going to mess with it

alarm is easy(buy one for the type/options) i had a 88 civic sedan with a viper kit on it......................is the ef an SI???? go mini-me and run all obd1 elctronics....many companies make the jumpers for it and is all plug and play if it is a SI and you have the dizzy and ecu

emission crap i dont know since i live in st.mary's , md we dont have them lol . but as far as a alarm yes u can still install it with manual locks you just wont be able to lock them with a key fob . or your can find a alarm company that builds alarms like i did that offers electric solenoids to convert your doors to power locks that acuate and lock your doors when you engage the alarm, thats what i had done to my eg because i hated my manual locks.

heres a company that offers alarm kits like i was telling you about with the power door lock solenoids, they also sell the power door lock solenoids seperate to run with a diferent alarm brands . i aonly linked you to this one because i personally have this alarm but with add on features.
