Are you sure the old harness works?
What i'd do is find one for a d16z6 that isn't hacked, that way its obd1 and you have the VTEC wires.
if you use obd1 harness on the y8, you'll need to swap your OBD1 Guts out of your distributor into the y8 housing, change the IM (because the injectors are different) use your OBD1 Alternator. Also, your driver side mount is different, so you'd either need the body mount out of a y8 (96-00) or unbolt your mount off your old engine.
in case you didn't know
