1- D16A6 is a bit different from B16A, the trannys are not the same and the OEM LSD only came on the ZC black top that would fit your D-series tranny (with SOME work)
2- If you're going to get a B16 and run 87 octane in it, stop now and keep your 1.6 SOHC. The SiR engine requires 91+ octane fuel due to high compression.
3- JDM LSD from a OBD-0 Integra? Or are you thinking of a SiR2 B16A? (OBD1 or 2)
4- LSD is NOT traction control in the snow. It takes power from the wheel that is slipping and applys MORE power to the wheel that has GRIP. Snow & Rain will NOT make this better, only worse.
5- ABS for grip? What does Anti Lock Brakes have to due with gripping the road?
My suggestion - Sell the CRX and buy a Subaru AWD.

1- The B16A only has a compression ratio of 10.2:1, not exactly high compression.
2- first generation jdm B16A came from jdm CRX SiR's, so i'd was looking at getting a jdm oem lsd from a CRX SiR. Not obd-0 integra and not SiR 2 B16a, FIRST GENERATION is what i've always been saying.
3-LSD DOES help traction in snow:
"The Quaife also controls loss of traction when the front wheels are on slippery surfaces such as ice and snow or mud, providing the appropriate biased traction needed to overcome these adverse conditions"
from http://www.quaifeamerica.com/
4- ABS hels you stop thus helps you grip, PERIOD.
