Is There Anywhere That I Could Find Information On How To Take Out A B18b From A Ls And Put It Into An 93 Eg. Also What Parts Would I Need To Keep,buy,etc.

I found exactly what you need from SCC's "Ultimate Swap Guide." Unfortunately, they have taken it down from their website. Basically, you just pull out the old engine and drop in the new one. You will need the engine and all its associated accessories, the front engine mount from a 94-01 'Teg, and an Integra throttle cable. The only tricky part is the engine mount. You need the mount from the Integra, but the rubber insert from the Civic. So you need a press. For power steering you need an Integra pump and bracket. For A/C, you need a Civic Del-Sol bracket for the compressor. Other than that, it's pretty straight forward, and all you need to really worry about is to be careful when you remove all the hoses (since they break relatively easily).

what is the rubber insert and the press

Engine mounts are made of a metal bracket with a rubber insert. The insert has a bunch of holes in it to let the engine rock a little and keep the vibration down (kits from Energy suspension use inserts that go inside the stock rubber and fill the holes. Some engines will vibrate like crazy once this kit is used, some won't notice it at all). So what you need is the engine mount from both your Civic and a donor Integra (preferrably the same one you took the engine from). You have to get the rubber piece pressed out of both mounts and get the rubber from the Civic pressed into the Integra's metal bracket. You need some kind of hydraulic press to do this, so best to have a shop do it. Luckily you only need to do the front mount to the engine, as all the other Civic mounts will line right up. While the engine is out, make sure all your mounts are good. In a car as old as yours, the rubber will crack and break, so if any of the mounts are broken, you should go ahead and replace them. If you don't, you run the risk of breaking some kind of hose or cutting a wire in the engine bay. Your throttle response will also improve once you replace a broken mount.
