What advise are you looking for?
Buy a Honda service manual (not a Haynes) and it tells you what to do step by step.
Get tools.
Do work.

As long as the engine is out, might as well do a FULL rebuild.
Hey - while you are at it, why not some Viarta's and a turbo!!

Not really any advice we can give you, pretty much it's a straight swap everything will bolt in fine. Flush your radiator replace the oil and coolant once it's running do a tune-up.
Don't forget your headlight fluid either.

before you put the new motor in, why not give it a good paint job? duplicolor engine paint, keep that bay looking nice. just my .02 though.
