Default B16B in 98 civic cx

just wondering how hard it is to use a stock harness for the swap. Heard a rumor once that if your civic was assembled in canada( and mine was) that its already wired for Vtec. true or untrue? if not, then just what all do you have to do for the swap? also i have a wholesale account with honda and can get a full new wiring harness for a 99 civic si for $450. is it worth it or should i just use the stock harness?

thanks guys

a b16b nharness will not work being the engines only came in right hand drive cars, take your harness out and the harness that comes with the engine and send them to www.rywire.com

crap....all i wanted to do was find an easy way to wire it. ok. how hard would it be to use my d16y7 harness to wire it up. i know ill have to wire up the vtec but is there anything else? will the b16b computer just plug in or do i need to get some other obd adapter
