Probably was covered up with grime so you couldn't see it...

To the left of the Exhaust manifold. See in the bottom left says d15b7, yours is either a z6 or y8 which is fine.

nother picture

if you are putting a swap in it then I wouldn't even worry about putting a vtec head on it. Just save your money and keep if for your b16 swap.
