Default Are vtec and non-vtec Throttle bodies interchangable?

For instance, could I take a b20 TB and put it on a b16 Intake manifold? Any modifications required?

Im running a B16(vtec) throttle body on my D15B7(non-vtec) and it works fine.. Had to port the intake manifold out a little bit but the bolt holes all lined up fine..
