The d15b, as it is known in japan, is actually 3 different engines.
1) d15b vtec - regular vtec, 120hp-ish
2) d15b vtec-e - our little friend, 62hp w/o vtec. 92 with
3) d15b 3 stage vtec
When you buy it, you have to specify that you want the d15z1. They should do you well.
The SI axles will bolt right up. The HF transmission will bolt right up too. These engines usually come with exhaust and intake manifolds. Mine came with a clutch and flywheel. It'll also come with a bunch of sensors and probably most of your pigtails for your new harness.
You can get a custom obd0->obd1 conversion harness at
www.rywire.com for around $130. Be sure to tell them what you're doing. In your case, you're going from pm6 to p07. If you have the money, I'd actually recommend you acquire a civic VX wiring harness somewhere and just send in your two harnesses. For a bit more money they'll send you back a plug-n-play harness. No wiring headache.
Don't forget that you'll also need the EGR Control box, which is unique to the Civic VX. You should be able to get those cheap on honda tuner sites from people who got rid of their d15z1.
