Default can you straight swap a 1.6 D head onto a 1.5 D?

I have a 1.6 with a blown bottom end and a good head and a good 1.5 complete motor to swap into it, any reason I can't swap the vtec head straight onto the non vtec block before the swap?

Answer: Yes, I think it is called a Mini-Me swap.

Sorry, I know it's an easy question and I did search but I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I needed to buy to make it work.
