Default DX to EX

hey everyone I have a question that I have been getting different answers to...I have a 1996 civic dx(obviously), I plan on putting a vtec head, intake manifold, and tranny into my car in the not so near future, but I have been hearing that the dx's dont have an evap system like the ex, so if I was to hook up a ex ecu I would trip a check engine light, PLEASE HELP WITH ANY INFO!!!

Just get the whole motor to make it easier. That is what I did.

If the only thing you need for a full swap is an EX block your nuts, just get the whole EX motor and save youself hours of ECU code debugging.
