I know on the 3 wire, you can cut off the orange one, and you need to wire the similar colors together. You also need to switch a wire pinout on teh ecu, but I forget exactly which one. Google 3 wire iac to 2 wire iac, like a normal person

i did this conversion on my 02 accord.
however, i dont recommend goin thru the trouble of having to get an adapter plate for your current intake manifold.
what i did, was after failing with the adapter plate, i picked up an obd1 f22 manifold, eventually replacing it with the obd1 h23 one. now for the accord, the iacv is a certain patter, so i dont know the compatability between obd2/1 civic ones, but i can only assume they could possibly be the same unit.
here are two pics i found in my car stuff folder, that may or may not help you. i need to search for where i have written down the actual wires that you need going to the ECU, but im pretty sure its a simple thing to work out if you grab a haynes manual. forgive me anyone who may own these images, as i have no idea where or when i got them from...
hope this helps you out some.
