96 - 98 OBD2a
99 - 00 OBD2B is the only difference. ( U may need to get a OBD2b to OBD2A harness for the inside where the ecu is connected. ) do engine harnesses have that part i forgot?

you'll still need to buy everything I listed above, the only thing it gets you out of buying is a '96 - '98 EX ECU which I forgot to mention in my previous post, you can probably buy an '96 - '98 ECU for less than you can get an adapter harness for anyway. You should also be able to sell that '99 - '00 EX harness btw, EX/Si engine harnesses are always hot items.
