240 DL engine swap

Hi all,
I killed my non-turbo b21 a few days ago and have sourced a b23 locally for $70.
I've been looking around and have come up short on what I can keep under the hood. I know the b23 are not k-jetronic, they're lh1. So I'm going to have to pick that up at u pull and pay. What about bolt on accessories like alternator, a/c compressor and power steering pump - are they good to go? Starter, solenoid, etc? I am in a rush to get this done, this car is my daily driver and after a few days I already miss her. Thank folks.

EDIT: I'm not looking for a power horse or anything like that. I just want to make this as painless as possible.

The A/C compressor, power steering pump, starter motor and alternator are listed as being suitable for engines B17, B19, B21 and B23. Take them off and put them on.

Bill.

Awesome Thanks Bill. I just realized that I probably have to swap out the computer as well. Am I right? Also is it a fairly easy job to add the fuel injector cables to the harness?

The K-jet control unit will not work with the LH.

As for the injector wires I would run them alongside the existing loom, tape them into place then cover the whole thing with a braided flex sleeve which you can buy at car parts shops or even eBay.
