I couldn;t find the how to swap article here on hondaswap, sorry.

05b Engine Removal and Installation

92 Civic Factory Service Manual

://The EFSource.Net - How-to: JDM D15B VTEC into a CRX Si

Honda-Tech.com: Hybrid: FAQ: Detailed B Series Swap into 5th Gen Civic How-To - Check it Out and Help Everyone Else Too!

It's pretty easy but looks like it's your first time so be sure about what you doing, take a lot of pics, label everything you disassemble.

My swap took me 3 days working alone in a cold garage and an extra 3 to find out that i had a bad ground connection. Todays it'll take less than that because i've already done it once. With 2 to 3 person it should be done in 24h.
