I'm not sure how far you are with your swap but I got mine in over the weekend. FYI I swapped both beta motor and trans.
1: I used the drivers side mount off of the Accent. I had to notch out for the the clutch slave cylinder but it fit nicely after that and it put the trans in the correct location. I tried to use the Tiburon mount at first but the frame holes would have had to be re-drilled and it jammed the crank pulley up against the frame, the Accent mount gave me a little bit of room there.
2. On the drivers side I used the Tiburon mount. It fits pretty good but made the engine sit a little high because it hits the bottom of the support. I used a hammer and a drift to bent that space down some to level it out. Also the hole will have to be relocated a little up and to the left. I'm still undecided on if I'm going to keep the mount this way. I have a hacked up stock Accent mount that I was going to weld to fit but I kind of like the tib mount setup.
3. On the front and rear mount I decided to go with a 97-99 cross-member. The back side bolts up fine to the body but the front required a slight modification to the radiator support. In hindsight I wish I just left the stock cross-member in and welded supports to the stock tib mounts, would have been quicker.
I've not had time to mess with the axles because I only had one day to devote to this.
