Default replace b18a with b16?

ok i just bought my car a few weeks ago. its an 89 civic si with a b18a from a 1990 integra ls in it. i was wondering how hard it would be to put a b16 in it. i've always wanted a b16 and was just wondering if it would be a good idea and how hard/ easy it would be to do. if they are both obd0 i would think it would be fairly plug and play and i've heard that b trannies can adapt to any b motor. i would like to keep the tranny i have because i like the gearing of it and i could save some money.
tell me what you think.

if you want a b16, i would just go with a first gen b16 long block. they are a dime a dozen.
