I'm pretty sure you can use whichever header you want, but for the intake mani you should use the one from a VTEC head. An LS VTEC will run on whatever ECU originally came with the head. If you want to use a P28, you'll need to get it chipped and programmed with the appropriate maps for an LS/VTEC setup. A stock P28 by itself will not run the motor correctly.
And yes, you need to run some oil lines. Do a search for "Golden Eagle LS VTEC kit" and you will find a pre-made kit with the oil lines and head gasket that you will need for the swap.
