Why not use your stock harness? You are non-VTEC now, and are going to another non-VTEC engine so you dont have to run those wires. I have never done that so I cant say for sure what you would need.

No the 96-98 harness will not work, just reuse your stock 99 engine harness. If you want to use the 98 LS ECU, you'll need to get an OBD2 to OBD2B harness.
