LX engines don't have Vtec. So no you don't need the valve. You shouldn't have to bypass it either.

If you mean the plug on your engine harness then yes, leave it unplugged.

you might want to which out ECU because you might throw a Vtec code since the new motor you have is not vtec or maybe you did that already if so don't worry about the Vtec wire it can stay disconnected nottin is going to mess up your motor
