05 engine harness rewiring

I put an 05 ex engine into my 03 lx last month. I got the VAFC2 to engage Vtec. but i got two problems one is that one of the o2 sensor conectors are diffrent. i have the lower one connected but the top one is not. i still have my lx exhaust setup. can any one tell me what the o2 sensor connector on the 05 engine harness looks like. the guy at the inspection place told me that i can just cut the 05 connector off and wire in the connector off my 03 harness. but i dont know which one to cut off the 05 harness. What do i do? I did the engine swap myself

so you need the 02 sensor wire diagram? i'll see if i have that at home tonight. and i wouldnt drive without getting that sensor working because that is used to calculate air:fuel ratio. i also wouldn't drive without getting the vafc tuned on the dyno. its gonna run dangerously lean because the lx ecu wont add fuel when vtec engages.

okay which sensor primary or secondary. because the primary sensor wires are exactly the same between lx and ex.

i can get pics tomorrow. but there is(1) one sensor right on top the cat/header and the other(2) is at the base of the cat/header right before the flange, (2) is the one that is hooked up to the wire harness.

Camera wont work, but we all know how the o2 sensors look on an lx header. So is there anyone out there that can help me out?
