Default 92 dx Hatchback

Hey guy's what's up. I'm going to look at a 92 dx hatch this weekend and if it's good I'm goint to pick it up as a daily driver. Now of course I plan on doing a swap, B18c1 in fact and I have a couple of questions to start. I know I will have to add wires to the harness for Vtech and knock sensor, and i've been doing my homework but I have to know:

What are the pitfalls of this swap?
What will end up biting me in the ***?

I know this is broad and general but I plan to drive it for a while before I do the swap, collecting info as I go. I think some of my biggest concerns center around suspension setup, how much will it take to get this thing handling?
I see people talking about switching out the front control arms to get a front sway bar, but then I see kits available for dx's with no front sway bar and all of this is useless if I use susp. parts from a GSR, I guess what I'm really getting at is should i skip the dx and keep looking fro an si (like I could find one) or go ahead and get the dx and start building?
Also where can i find a good step by step documentation of this swap?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the rambling.
