Default B18b swap for '88 honda crx HF

Hey there! Planning on swapping out stock engine and tranny on my '88 CRX HF with a B18b engine and new tranny, was wondering if any of you guys have any advice or tips to help me out? Or if I'll encounter any future problems with the swap.

you will need b series ef mounts(inivative will clear the hood)
b series ef linkage
b series axles, halfshaft, dx or si hubs(remove the dust ring in the back)
if you use a hydro tranny you will have to convert to hydro
if you use the b1 injectors you will need to remove the resistor box
beat in the frame rail for the altenator
obd0 ecu and distributor unless your obd1 then obd1 ecu and distributor with ecu and distributor jumpers
thats all that i can think of for now
