It will work fine. But if you don't replace your pistons, your compression is going to be lower due to the shape of the pr-3 combustion chamber. Around 9.8:1.

I'm not sure how well it will perform compared to a stock gsr motor. My guess is it would prbably be slower with less low end torque.

the 99 head would be obd-2 so you would have to get an obd1 manifold with all the obd-1 sensors and stuff. but yes, its a direct bolt on. people here commonly refer to it as a "poor mans type r"

Yea, this is what I am doing as well. Make sure you raise compression as was already suggested and upgrade valvetrain. If you're using a 99 head then the valve train most likely won't have a horrid amount of mileage on it but it's always good to upgrade for more power.

I'm hoping to push 200hp out of my setup.

Well, if you're using a 99 Si intake manifold in an obd 1 car, you're going to have to tap it for an IAT. The civic Si has it located on the intake arm, where as the obd 1 cars have it located on the intake manifold.
