Default b16a swap ?'s need help!!!!

i have a first gen b16a engine and i have bought dc sports headers for it and i noticed that there is a hole near the end of the header for the oxygen sensor. the motor came with some cheapy crap header that didnt have an oxygen sensor in it. i wanted to know if i can use a stock oxygen sensor from my d16 or if i have to get another one to fit into the dc sports header.
i want to use a p30 ecu (obd1). is the only thing i need to run the p30 ecu with my stock wiring is a obd0-obd1 conversion harness or do i need more? where can i find a coversion harness for cheap?
where can i buy a throttle cable from a 91 integ online? how much do they cost?
i really need some help and would appreciate any feedback

yes, you could, if you didn't go to OBD1, which uses a 4 wire (heated) O2.

Good, cause the PR3 and PW0 (un-chipped) need 2 O2's to run correctly, get a good OBD0-OBD1 conversion harness and run an OBD1 ECU, but you'll then need to get a 4 wire 02, which you should be able to get one from your local auto parts store for about $26 without a connector (bosch is ok).

The conversion harness should be about $100, good luck with everything!

I run one unheated on my car. I would definately recommend upgrading to a heateded O2. It just takes too long for that unheated to get up to temp.

You will also need an OBD1 distributor to complete the OBD0-OBD1 conversion.

thanx for all the advice guys. i checked the distributor and found out that there is an obd1 distributor already on my motor so i got that taken care of. i also heard that on the dc 4-1 header that i got you can cap off the hole for the o2 sensor, is this true, can i run a header with no oxygen sensor?
