you can rock an -a1 ecu and use a vtec controller. That's pretty much the advantage to swapping in an -a2 head. That, and the fact that you now have access to drop in cams.
As far as what parts you need... complete -a2 head and a vtec controller.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Right....
OP could spend more to get an A1 PCM and have it programmed to run the engine, than it would cost to just get the correct head in the first place. Or a correct whole engine.
Is there some problem that warrants replacing the cylinder head from the original D17A2 engine?
