Check your alarm unit to see if it is + or - output for the siren, most likly +, but check

I'm not too sure what you mean by push lock, but you need to install a pin switch for the hood if you want the alarm to be triggered if the hood is opened, if not don't bother hooking up the wire for it.

the orange goes to the park lamp switch BLACK / YELLOW
The existing sire wire goes to the white + wire on the new siren
forget about the 2nd unlock purple wire, you don't need it
the horn wire (green) goes to BLACK/ red wire at 74 pin connector on BCM
the pin swich where ever it will actually work and be pushed down with the hood closed.
As for the 98 civic, there is quite an extensive database here of wiring diagrams that you can use
