You can't use that harness or any other 96-98 as they have different ECU connectors, you must either use your factory harness and add the additional wiring (VTEC, knock, 3-2 wire IACV, extend secondary 02 and use your original distributor for plug and play or an distributor adapter harness) or you can use a 99-00 EX harness and then wire in the secondary 02 manually to the ECU and reuse your original distributor as the plugs differ.

Not unless you get a 96-98 dash harness as well.
