I'm sure that was fun! I actually bought a punch specifically designed for that exact job off the tool truck. I bought it after my last swap a few years back and haven't done one since (go figure) so hopefully it works like a charm.

Just buy an HX motor, it still has VTEC-E (which is just a variant on VTEC), not an engine.

From what I know right now you will need a compatible ECU, 2 new o2 sensors and will have to rewire a few things.
