You have an OBD2 engine in an OBD2 car that you swapped an OBD2 head onto. Why would you think that you would need an OBD1 engine harness?

As far as I remember, you need to do something with the IAC connector because the Y7 IAC and Y8 IAC are different. Also, you need to get a throttle cable from a 1996-2000 Civic EX (they came with the Y8).

or just make your own brackets for the throttle calbe to work. And you mentions the iac mod. You have the get a plug and convert the 3 wire iac plug to a 2 wire plug.

the only other think left is wiring in vtec. You need the plugs for that as well or just cut and re-connect.

Also, im hoping you removed the oil passage plug from your block so vtec even works.
