What exactly are you asking? You can go either OBD-1 or OBD-0 I would go OBD-1 but that is up to you.

An OBD0 to OBD1 conversion is not hard or complicated as some people make it out to be. You'll need an OBD1 distributor, injectors, ECU and 4 wire O2 sensor. You will still reuse the OBD0 engine harness but you'll switch the plugs for the dizzy and injectors. You'll also need an OBD0 to OBD1 ECU conversion harness then add the extra wiring for the 4 wire O2.
Now if you wanted to stay with OBD0, of course you will need a first gen B16 dizzy or modded 90-91 Integra LS ( ) some OBD0 injectors with resistor box and a PR3 or PW0 ECU. The ECU's are not designed to run a B18C1 so the VTEC engagement, fuel/timing maps, IAB function and things like that are not exact. Of course it will run fine but it's never going to be to it's full potential unless it's chipped and/or tuned.

Def go OBD1 run it the way its suppose to be run. I just completed the changeover when doing my swap it was rather easy. I also recomend a skunk 2 intake manifold

if you're going to do this swap then go OBD-1. It doesn't make much sense to keep it OBD-0
