yes it is refering to A1 and as civtegra90 said chassi stlyle will also give you a good indication to confirm that and what the previous owner has done.

yeah, so it would be OBD-1. most likely the B16A1 from the 2nd Gen SIR.

B16A (OBD-0) is from the EF SIR
B16A2 (OBD-2) is from the EK SIR

Underneath the engine code, (B16A) there will be a string of numbers. Rule of thumb is if the numbers start with 1, then it's a first gen B16 w/160, second gens made 168.
