In all honesty, the wiring is the same. Only the actual pin location are swapped around. This is why the ecu jumper is used.

yeah just buy the ECU jumper, run the wires for 4 wire O2, VTEC solenoid, VTEC pressure switch on that subsubharness on there. Look's like they used 9 wires. Probably extra wires for knock sensor and IAB's (=9 wires). Its pretty straight forward but you'll need an OBD0-1 distributor adapter.

Yes plugs are different. You can re-pin your current obd0 harbess to an obd1 plug. I don't Luke this method because if anything happens then you can't quickly comvert back to an obd0 dizzy. Pm me, I sell obd0 to obd1 distributor jumper harnesses and can make you a vtec subharness if you need it.
