Yes.

The clutch you will need depends on the trans you'll be using.

ls with a b16 tranny? No way. thats way too impossible. I don't even think its been done before. You probably are going to need an adapter plate or something. How bout you search before you ask such a basic question?

Simple answer yes.
I currently have a b18a1 obd0 from a 90 Integra.
Ran 15 sec quarter mile on some street slicks for one run, then the tires showed threads. Could have easily broken into 14's.
But its a good first swap, plenty of torque if your a torquey [not a word] guy.

And the douche bag award of H-T goes to the dude from Riverside.
I would expect So. Cal people to be much more friendly to fellow Southern Californians, but it seems my beliefs were wrong.

yeah douchebag poster is a douchebag. Id say LS on a b16 tranny is a good idea. personally id even go as far as to balance the rotating assembly and get some valve springs and valves so you can get more reliable power in higher RPM since youre gonna find yourself cruising down the highway at 3400 rpm going 70 mph

What do I win? Plus socal is extremely popular area for theft, which is why californians are not exactly that friendly with others just because they drive the same brand of car. and to be useful Y1, (usdm)YS1, trannies use 91 integra clutches. while the japanese ys1 use a hydro ls clutch.

A YS1 is a cable tranny, and uses the same clutch all 1992-2001 B series tranny's. It has a larger mainshaft

The older and 1st gen cable B16 tranny's (Y1,S1) use a small spline mainshaft, same as any B series 1990-91 transmission

Sarcastic? yes but he does have a point. Someone planning on doing a swap like this needs to do more research before jumping into it. It is not a simple swap, requires custom mounts, linkage, and in many cases wiring. Someone who does not know this need to research more before trying this swap.
As far as Deathsquads useless list of bench racing data, spare us the "coulda, woulda, shoulda". Every motor runs different and personally that's not too impressive.

Now as far as will this work? Yes but it depends on what year and style of B16 tranny you use as stated before. Early model B16A's came with the Y1, S1, and J1 (Deetz you're slipping on me lol) It really doesn't matter though because they are all similar and run the same clutch. In which case these use the same clutches as a usdm 90-91 integra. 92-93 cables were YS1 and use the 92-93 integra clutch.
