You can't use the automatic P2J ECU, its for a CVT tranny, basically you're screwed. You could if you really wanted to cut and weld the proper mount from an HX and use an HX CVT tranny and wiring harness. You can modify your original harness and use an EX automatic ECU and accept the fact that you wont have vtec-e, or as I said earlier swap the tranny and harness from an HX coupe. Easiest thing to do would be to swap in a 5 speed + 5 speed P2J ECU.

You could swap in a Z6 but you'd have to run an OBD2A P2P ECU and the timing will be off. The best thing to do is swap in a D16Y7 or D16Y8 from a '96 - '98 Civic.
