Default D16Z6 longblock in a 99 civic EX

ok heres the deal. my old roomate spun a bearing in his 99 civic EX so he paid me to get a new motor and swap it in. I ended up having to use my Z6 longblock out of my 94 coupe, his transmission, his IM, TB, Fuel rail, injectors, alternator and starter. I hooked everything up, rewired the ground on the obd1 distributor (but not the crank flucuation sensor), I have fuel and spark and the motor turns over sometimes, but it idles crazy and then stalls like it has a vacuum problem (which maybe). so anyways, he brings the car to a mechanic in lake worth, west palm beach area, and the mechanic talks to his friend at TPS , dont know if anyone knows them but they are supposed to specialze in these type of swaps. well he says the swap is a total waste and it would cost thousands to get this running properly because its obd3. let me know what I need to do cus I know its not as hard as he is saying. thanks
