Default d16y8 in '90 crx Q's

I'm looking to put an OBD2 sohc vtec motor in a 90 crx. So far the plan is to use the d16y8 block and head, crx tranny, with the crx wiring harness, injectors, distributor stock crx ecm and a vtec controller to control vtec engagement.

This seems like the easiest way to go for me, my question is, does this all make sense (will it work properly)? Also, is there an easier way to do this swap?
