LS/v-tec help needed!!

Okay, I bought a 2G Acura Integra with obd-0 B18A1 motor in it. I recently had a '95 B16A USDM motor to fall into my hands, and as you guessed, I want to convert it into a LS/v-tec. The only problem is that its a automatic. Now I am very short on cash, so I want to know what all will need to be swapped to make this feseable? Is it possible to leave the ECU obd-0 and use the stock witing harness, and use an Apex V-afc to controll v-tec? what injectors, fuel rail will I have to use? What Intake manifold will I use, and If I have to use the '95 B16A obd-1, can I just weld up the spare hole, or drill to gain hole? Here is what I know,
-use B18A head gasket
-use B16A gaskets for rest
-resurface all mating surfaces
-plug oil hole
-tap into oil outlet hole,and run braided line to v-tec head
-drill press dowel pin holes to 9/16'' in
-torque all bold to factory B16A specs
-*run a wire from the v-tec silinoid to v-tec computer (a knock sensor will not be needed since the Apex V-afc uses the tach to reconize the amount of RPM's that are being turned.)
-tune Apex unit to needs
-use B18A distributor, altinator, A/C, power steering
-B18C1 timing belt
-tune-up, oil change, adjust valves, ect.
-B18A1 exaust manifold

Please correct me If I am wrong about any of this, will the OBD-0 injector plugs hook up to the OBD-1 injectors if the OBD-1 injectors have to be used? Is there anything I am forgeting? What is stock for a B16A on v-tec crossover, because I don't want v-tec to kick in to early to where the motor loops, but not so late to where the auto tranny shifts before crossover (for max powerband gains across the board). I think I have it down pat, but I want to get more info on what Intake manifold, Injectors, fuel rail, and wiring harness I can use(remember I want/need to stay OBD-0 for the auto tranny). Thanks..

-Yea, I suppose you could.

what injectors, fuel rail will I have to use? What Intake manifold will I use,
-You could use the b16 injectors, but you would need to disconnect the resistor box, and you would need to use the obd1 injector clips. Use the b16 intake mani and fuel rail.

If I have to use the '95 B16A obd-1, can I just weld up the spare hole, or drill to gain hole?
-I am not following you here.

B18C1 timing belt
-Use the water pump and timing belt from same car.

will the OBD-0 injector plugs hook up to the OBD-1 injectors if the OBD-1 injectors have to be used?
-No

I want to get more info on what Intake manifold, Injectors, fuel rail, and wiring harness I can use(remember I want/need to stay OBD-0 for the auto tranny
-The LS intake mani will not bolt up to the b16 head. Just use the LS injectors and wiring harness.
