Default ?'s should i get a helms manuel for my swap?

i will be attempting to swap a dohc zc in my 91 civic hatch si during the summer. so i am now doing my research. i have never done a swap before, so i was wondering if the helms manuel will guide me step by step thru the swap? all i have ever done to cars are rotate tires, oil change, radiator flush, install intake, install headers, change battery, fuse, spark plug and that is about all i know how to do. how hard would you think this swap is for someone like me to do. will the helms manual help me at all?

Bump I'm interested as well.

*edit* I'm a newbie when it comes to cars.

I don't think a Helms manual would be necessary for that swap in your car. Since you have an Si, the wiring is almost exact to the ZC with only a few changes that need to be made and it's a direct bolt-in. The info you need, you could easily get from the internet and besides they don't make a Helms for the ZC since it was a Japan only motor. Here's some links:
