88 hatch is not an ssp i bet
but anyway, yea just get a donor car and swap everything. if you want to save some time for future mods get a mass air car 89+ i think
carb would be cool but FI should be easier if you have all the parts.

Honestly I would probaly go carb route if I were you, it's quite a bit easier and you can make the engine bay look really clean by eliminating practically everything. I've thought on several times to just put a carb on mine.

make sure you check local emmision laws before swaping for a carb. other wise i would go with it, soooo much easier and less cluttered.

Carb is easier to tune and simplier swap
