Default 1997 honda accord lx f22b2 to f22b1 head swap

so I see theres a lot of info on this topic but I just want to comfirm that what I understood from reading is correct before I get this done.

My car 1997 Honda Accord lx 2.2 f22b2 non vtec obd2 manual transmission

Parts I need:
Head from 97' Honda Accord Ex 2.2 f22b1 vtec obd2
Computer from 97' Honda Accord Ex 2.2 f22b1 vtec obd2 manual transmission
And wire the vtec
If the computer and head comes from a 97' Ex manual transmission I dont have to worry about a obd2 to obd1 jumper harness correct? because they're both obd2 correct me if I'm wrong

I know theres better swap options but this is what I want to do for now but all opinions are welcome

ps excuse my gramar english is my second lenguage

If you purchase an OBD2 (96-97) EX ECU you do not need a conversion harness.

Along with the EX parts don't forget to remove the oil control orifice from the surface of the F22B2 block. If you do not remove it you will have a hard time getting VTEC to engage properly.

I also have a lot of questions, my f22b1 is bad so I buy an f22b2, f22b1 are hard to find here in my city, so I just buy an f22b2 block,

OK I HEARD THAT THE TIMING BELTS OF f22b1 and f22b2 are different one is longer than the other one, not sure witch one, what timing belt should I use?? The block was from automatic is there something else I have to change on the timing side, like the tensor etc etc?? Also the block has P0A pistons, and I'm buying some pistons rings what should I buy the f22b2 or f22b1 rings?? Are they different? It same
