Don't bother trying to fit it, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but a 97 into a 99 is not straight forward. The inlet manifold stud pattern is differnt and trying to change it over is really not worth the hassle. You could use the bottom end with your heads on though. Make sure you get the correct headgaskets (thickness).

That looks good, isn't it the wrong way around for this though? i.e it allows phase 1/1.5 to fit phase 2 heads not the other way around?

Yes the wiring looms are differnt, as I have already said, it's not just a case of swapping the manifolds and looms. You will be better to swap your heads onto the STI bottom end, then it's dead easy, just use all your existing wiring manifolds etc.
