Default hooking up vtec: ECU or V-AFC?

I'm doing a mini-me on my '97 hatchback and I was wondering if I could use an A'pexi V-AFC to control Vtec and leave the p06 ecu alone, or do I have to swap to a p28 ecu.
Also other than chipping, are there any other reasons why OBD1 is preferred over OBD2?
I do have a bunch of bolt on upgrades, if that makes a difference.

do it right and get an ecu.
with the vafc you can control fuel but not timing.
obd 1 is a lot easier to chip

What would I need to connect OBD1 ecu to OBD2 engine?

Sweet, any ideas how much those go for?
Would this create problems with emission test? I have a free flow catalytic (resonator) and passes the emissions with OBD2, but that's 'cause they didn't stick anything in my exhaust pipe.

Since I'm new, I only get 5 post a day, and I thing this might be my last one for the day.
