A few questions before swap

In the next week or so, I am swapping a 95 B18C1(from HMO) into my 1993 CX.
After doing some research, I have seen that some people have recommended swapping the fuel pump and radiator.
I would probably go ahead and switch to the Walbro 255, but my question is this:
1. Do I get the fuel pump for a 94-95 GSR, or the 92-95 Civic H/B? I would imagine that they both supply the same amount of liters per hour, but does one fit better than the other? Also, should I get the high pressure pump or the standard?
2. Secondly, if my stock CX radiator is not sufficient enough for the beefy B18C1, which radiator should I be looking towards? I plan on staying N/A.
3. Along with the swap, I want to swap out the clutch. I have been looking at ACT, but I am a little confused as to what kind of setup to use. For the most part this car is going to be a daily driver, with the exception of a few track runs.
4. Finally, I would like to put an Apex-i WS exhaust on (when they are back in stock) but I know that my catalytic converter is currently under my header. Ideally I would like to replace the cat and the exhaust, but I was wondering if an aftermarket cat will bolt up to the B18C1 header? If not, which setup would you recommend?
I know there are a lot of questions, but I have been talking to several people on HT who have been wondering about the same issues.
I appreciate any input.
