Default Help with my b16 swap please

I have a 1990 crx si with b16 swap. I purchased the obd1 b16 swap with a lsd hydro trans. Everything is in running and I am able to drive it. My speedo isnt working due to the crx being a mechanical speedo and the hydro being electronic. I do not have any cels, and my vtec isnt working. I thought I would have a cel for the vss. I did contanct Honda and Acura dealerships and they told me the ecu has to show a speed for vtec to engage. I have a mechanical vss from a 90-93 integra. Can I just swap them out? If not what can I do to fix the speedo and vtec problem?

Yes, just swap in the DA vss and you should be good. Does the CEL work when you first turn the key?

I have a piece of hose connecting mine. My vtec engages no problem without the electric vss.
