Should be able to swap in a D16Z6/D16Y8 cylinder head, but also need to cosider the electronics.
The D16A6 is from the pre-1992 right? If it is, is it OBD-0? If so, the Z6 head is OBD-1 and the Y8 head if OBD-2. Definitely need to consider that also.
But, I believe you can get good compression ratios with A6 pistons and a VTEC head such as the D16Z6. Most people swap in the A6 pistons with a Y8 cylinder head and a thinner head gasket to yield GOOD compression numbers.
Do some more Search on here, lots of information.

Actually, the cylinder heads have nothing to do with OBD-anything.
its the intake manifold electronics and the distributor & ECU. Use d16a6 components and you're set, or convert your harness to OBD1 and use P28 ECU

That's what I was saying. The cylinder head electonics. Such as VTEC solenoid, distributor and intake manifold. Those are part of the cylinder head.

Re: can you add v-tec to a non t-tec head? (lillthingz)
fact, you can't use a non vtec head and turn the non vtec head into a vtec head!!! and even if there was any way it hell you could it would cost more then what's it's worth, the best bet is to buy a D16y8 head off a 99or 00ex, (higher comp.) and slap it on, run a vtec, diss. and get a p28 ecu and wire the vtec wires, and call it a day. O yeah and mill in 30xxx's for that extra kick

I don't see how it would be hard to put a d16a6 non v-tec head on a d16z6 block. I have a d16z6 motor i just got the a6 headand it was ported so i said hell why not try putting it on, maybe i ill get some gains? i duno that's why i asked yall about it, hoping i would get some insight from people with more motor knowledge.
