Default b16a1 into ek question

Just curious, I have read about this and asked before but still havent got a good answer. Ignoring the law why is it a bad idea to drop a a1 into a 96+ civic? Thanx for any info.

the b16a (1st gen) comes with a cale style transmission and you car is setup for a hydraulic setup. You could buy the 1g b16a and swap to a newer hydraulic b series setup. The 1g b16a has a weaker set of cam profiles than the newer b16a engines.
