It will fit, With the correct mounts. All USDM type R's are OBDII. Which in fact are 96 and up.

That has nothing to do with fitment.
Search on Mounts/axles/ECU.
You will need shift linkage from the DElsol VTEC.

it doesnt matter what obd it is. that is not relevent with fitment. they probably said that because you have to cahnge your car from obd-1 to obd-2 and you have to trade mounts, shift linkage, axles, tranny, ecu, and wiring harness. there is alot of stuff to change but yes it will fit and has been done thousands of times. lol

The Type R is actually a very nice swap for the Del Sol.

The fitment will not be an issue with the proper mounts, you will need to replace
Motor, trans, ECU, axles, shiftlinkage, a few brackets, and convert the OBD2 engine to OBD1 with using jumper harness or seperate supplied parts converting the engine over to the older platform.
