vafc installation walkthrough

It's in the documentation available for download.
The wires you have to tee into are:
tach signal wire for rpm reading
TPS wire for throttle position reading
+12VDC power wire
(x2) brn/blk ground wires - one of them has to be closer to the ECU
The wires you have to wire the VAFC in series with (so the VAFC can intercept and alter the signal before it hits its target):
VTEC solenoid wire
MAP sensor wire
Other:
VTM wire gets cut and taped off.
If you have a VAFC-II, then you'll also need to tee into the knock sensor wire.
If you're good at soldering cleanly, I'd do that and heat shrink the connections. If not, then use the wire splices. Even if the wire splices are more of a liability than a good solder connection, a bad solder joint can be just as bad. Do what you're more comfortable with.
