Icon6 d15b non vtec to a d16z6 swap

Im going to buy a d16z6 block and swap it for my d15b non vtec.
the person who is selling me the motor is giving me the shift linkage distributor hydro tranny but no ecu and no wireing harness
he briefly explained to me that i do not need nor the ecu or the wireing harness, that i could use my oem harness that i already have
is this true?

yea you can use the original ECU but you will have no VTEC. You dont need a harness, you can just run the wires for VTEC, its not too hard, or go to a local junk yard and get the connectors off of a car that has them. If you want VTEC you will need a P08 or a P28.

you can convert your non-vtec ecu to a vtec ecu if you know someone that does that.
