Default VTEC to Non-VTEC Engine Replacement

Hi, need some help please.

I have a '98 Civic EX 2-door with (according to the 6th digit in the VIN#) a VTEC engine. All the work I've had done on it used non-VTEC parts but anyway, I am going to replace the complete engine. Can I put a non-VTEC engine in the car ? It's a standard with A/C.

Do the two engines have the same motor mounts, etc ?

Any help would greatly be appreciated. KC
