Default JDM b18c into USDM GSR

I just want everyone to know, that I searched and searched and couldn't find a correct answer.
I purchased a 97 JDM B18c from HMO. I just recieved the motor. It's going to go into my 1994 GSR this week. And before I do the swap, I wanted to make sure I have everything correct.

Can I use my USDM ECU?
I put my USDM harness onto the JDM b18c correct?

What else am I missing.

Thanks HTers.

You could get away with running your usdm ecu. I have a b18c in my EK and I have both a jdm ecu and a usdm ecu and they both run about the same. Its close enough I wouldn't worry about afr. But you could easily chip that ecu and dyno tune it...
