Default Questions about swap... pardon my newb-ness

I've never done a swap, and searching didn't turn up the specific answers I need.

I blew the d15b7 in my 93 Civic dx, and i'll be swapping in a full LS engine (maybe go ls/vtec later on). I will get everything I need, I think, except the alternator. Is the d15b7 alternator useable on the LS engine? Seems pretty generic. I'll be using the same wiring harness that's already on my car, just modifying it to accept the LS dizzy and intake manifole/throttle body. What about the starter? I'm guessing i'll need a new one of those. I'm trying to put together a list of the things i'll need. Can the motor mounts in my car be modified to fit, or will I need custom/Hasport mounts?

Thanks!

cliffs notes: can I reuse the engine mounts (modify them of course) and the alternator going from a d15b to a b18b?

Are you saying that my d series motor mounts (eg civic) will work with a b18?

When we put a gsr motor into my friends eg hatch we used all the stock mounts EXCEPT the driver side motor mount. We used a Hasport mount for that. Actually we might have one of those for sale if interested.
