Seems to me like you really only have 2 options for non-vtec valve covers. B18A or B18B.

When did the crankcase vent move? Earlier B18B1 have a vent box attached to the back of the block, under the intake manifold. Later B18B1 have both the PCV and the vent on the valve cover. (I don't know what year it changed?)

If your '96 has no vent box on the block, you're stuck with using a newer valve cover. Because you need one that has a place for the PCV valve.

You can also use the b20 valve cover, same head really.
