Default DX motor and Si chassis?

I am probably going to be buying a '88 CRX Si with a shot motor, it jumped timing and its pretty much done for. A buddy of mine has a B16A CRX, but the DPFI motor (DX) was mint, only 105,000 on it, runs great. So my question is. Would I be able to just use the Si (MPFI) manifold on the DX block and not have to worry about it? would I have to do any other wiring mods, does anyone know?

Eventually I might be building a mini-me out of it anyway..and attempting to do ITB's. Also, I am pretty sure this ratty old Si motor thats in it is shot anyway. It has like mold growing on it.
