Default VTEC wiring problems on a non-vtec car...

I have a 95 LS-SE, which i just swapped a 98 b18c1 into. Now, the car is currently running on a 95 obd1 ecu (p72), however, the motor isn't wired to the ecu to run vtec.

I've checked the hybrid site, and have poked around a lot besides that, but i still have some questions.

1) My car's wiring harness doesn't have the vtec wires run to it. Do i just run the wire from the engine to the engine side wiring harness which plugs into the correct ecu pin? Or do i have to physically run the wire to the engine side wiring harness connector? Or to the ECU side pin?

for example: I know that Vtec solenoid (yel/grn) has to run to pin A4...can i tap the engine side wire which corresponds to A4, or do I have to run it to that ecu pin?

Does anyone have any pictures of this done, like which wire ran from where in the engine bay? (Not the pinout diagrams, I have those, and have a helms)

Also, are there any complications that i might run into while wiring this up?

Tom

I had to pin them in at the ecu for my 91 teg, the 92-95 civic nonvtecs have the vtec ran up to the connection for the engine harness, not sure about the tegs though.
