The only difference is the '96-'98 would be OBD2a and the '99-'00 is OBD2b, otherwise they are all D16Y8's in the EX's.

If you use the wiring harness from the 96-97 you should be good, the 98-99 may be close i dont know though.

obd2a vs b - distributor plug different - swap distributors or use the other harness. Everything bolts up and plugs up the exact same motor.

Almost, the intake manifolds are different between the automatic and manual versions. Also '99 - '00 use have some air injection stuff on the intake manifold that the '96 - '98s don't have.
