91 dx wagon dpfi vtec ob1 automatic swap.

Ok.. please dont flame me. My question is slightly different.

so I'm picking up a complete Z6 that came out of a 95 civic ex.

Which includes:
Complete engine & auto tranny.
Ex (mpfi ob1) engine harness and auto ecu.

Rywire.com has a jumper harness but its only for manuals..

Im thinking about going to the junk yard and cut the plugs off the chassis harness of a 95 automatic ex
and just solder and heat shrink the sob. There's two reasons why I wanna do it myself. 1. I dont have $200+ for a jumper
And 2. Id like to learn how to do this stuff! Knowledge is power!

Do have any other options?

Its currently ob0 dpfi (obviously)

I want to keep the auto tranny. Convert to mpfi/ob1 and hook up vtec.

Is there a gosh dang write up on this somewhere!?

I feel like I have most of what I need to have a "semi" painless swap?

Correct Me if I'm wrong PLEASE.

    you wont find any info because nobody wants to stay automatic and do vtec on obd0 if your determine on staying auto I run stock ecu with VTEC controller other then that its pointless to what your trying to do you can even do a chassis harness swap from a auto EG but still more work the what your gaining

    Another thing you can do is get chassis and engine harness out of auto Rt wagon or Auto civic Ex and just run a vtec controller

    I have the ecu with chassis plugs and wires and harness available to me from an ex civic. But its eg. Would I need it form a ef ex? Are you saying to stay ob0
