Well, all the US market Civics in '01 had one of three 1.7L engines. The DX and LX have a non-VTEC engine. The EX has VTEC, and the HX has VTEC-E (E for economy). The trim level should be displayed on the rear of the car, but the emblem could have been removed.

The HX was only a coupe, so if you have a sedan, it's not an HX. The O2 sensor in the exhaust manifld should have 5 wires.

You could also run the VIN through this to determine if it is an HX:
