Default About to swap and build my first B16

The car is a perfectly running and driving 93 Civic EX sedan...but i wanted more power and etc etc.

So i found myself a B16 swap for cheap and with boost in the plans for next year...what are some things to keep in mind while swapping and tuning up the B16...never touched one before. Also, what are some other B16 tricks that are out there that you use. Ill be putting the motor in and out in my gravel driveway from the top side. Any kind of advice or technical information. Ive searched through pages and pages of threads but nothing really could help me get accustomed to the B16.
