Default B16A2 OBD2B into 1996 Civic DX OBD2A (wiring clash)

I have dropped my old Si motor into a 96 DX. I was told that the dash wiring would not plug up directly to my Stock Si ECU. (OBD2B vs. OBD2A) I do not want to rewire the whole dash so how would i go about this? (jumper harnesses, switching ecu, or using different engine wiring harness) If one or more of the above are possible, please tell me what I would have to do to make it work.

Thanks

use a 96-98 Ex engine harness on the b16a2 and get a obd2a to obd1 jumper harness and use an obd1 p30 and you're all good

Where would I get a P30 off of? Would a P27 or P28 work?

The 99=00 harness will not work because the "green plug" is different for the 2a and 2b cars. You can get a P30 from a 95-97 Del Sol VTEC. Yes, you could use a P28 but you'd want to get it socketed and have a chip made for your engine.
