as to the vtec if you kept the same z6 wire harness on the motor it should just plug into the stock wire harness and work with the vtec computer.

as to high idle... check the throttle cable and make sure its not tight, you want it to be slightly loose, otherwise its holding the throttle open making it rev higher
you can also try and bleed the radiator fluid.
as to the linkage it could be bad joints wearing out or could just be the stock rubber bushings. just have to crawl under the car while someone moves the shifter back and forth and look for slack in the linkages pivot points near the tranny.
my old 94 was loose as hell and i had to replace the linkage.
if yours is loose i do have a good set of linkage and also urethane shifter bushings as well for sale
