It is all a direct swap, everything bolts right in. The only wiring conversion will be 5 wire to 4 wire o2 sensor. Vtec wiring will already be there. The shorter geared EX tranny will make a big difference as well. I'd do timing belt & water pump while you have the motor out, if it's getting close to that time. Spend $20 on a Helms manual, it's worth every penny if you're new to working on Hondas/cars.

if the vx is anything like the cx, take off the a/c compressor (if it doesnt work) and the power steering pump since it has a manual steering rack. swap over the crank pulley too if it doesnt have either one of those.

Swap over the tilt steering column and the wiper stalk switch so you can have multiple settings. You need the black box off the back of the under dash fuse box to make it work.
