Doing 13-b Swap TODAY!!

Hello Guys, OK Ive picked up a 2nd gen 13b car and I want to swap the existing 12a and tranny with the 13b and its tranny, is there any modification i have to do to the tranny itself? Another question will the driveshaft yoke on the first gen fit into the 2nd gen tranny . Thanx guys sorry about my bad grammar.

I think I'd rather have the taller 5th gear with a 13b. At least you won't be at 4k rpm on freeway anymore.
