They're not all hatchbacks. There'd a 2 dr hatchback, and a 4 dr coupe. One's a hatchback, one's a 4 door coupe- do the math. On the LS, power windows and locks are standard, the sunroof is an option. Keep in mind there are also RSs, SEs, GSs, etc. All came with different options "standard."
As for LS/VTEC- any B series VTEC head will work- the B17A is my favorite, since the intake manifold plenums are the shortest. The heads will match up, no problem, without any modifications whatsoever to the shortblock. I would, however, recommend doing at least a minor build to the shortblock before running up to a VTEC redline- you'll probably throw a rod if you don't. You don't need to swap out the pistons, but I would as long as you're doing a build. The valves are actually contained in the head you're already swapping out, and don't need to be replaced. If anything, you should upgrade the springs and retainers, but this isn't necessary for a minor build. And, finally, the shortblock will need to be tapped and an oil line run to the VTEC head. This line supplies oil to the rockers to engage VTEC.
LS/VTEC sucks.
