Your 16v engine is what's called a "crossover" engine loom. it has a later 3 plug ecu "Big plug" on the body, but the engine loom is the same as the smaller 2 plug body.

I would use your 1997 loom on the 16v engine, and extend the wiring to reach the MAP sensor etc, then simply plug in the 16v ECU.
