Yes it will. I bolted my B16A in and it had a Chikarust already on it. It mated up to the cat with just a little stretch and extra tightening of the bolts on the flange.

I am not sure that it works the other way around though, yes, a b18 header would fit on a b16 head because the bolt pattern, etc is the same. However, b16s are shorter than b18s when measured from header bolts down to the bottom of the oil pan. So, a b18 header works fine on a b16 (leaves a little bit of room under the oil pan), but a b16 header will often hit the oil pan on a b18 because the bend in the header occurs too early.

Nice point...didn't think of that.
