Im not sure if this is also the same for SOHC, probably is but here are the steps to B series.
What you will need,
1 new oil pan gasket + some silicone (ultra black,blue,gray whatever)
2. Gorilla snot (or some kind of contact cement to glue the new gasket)
3. size 17mm, and size 10mm & 12mm for the headers. 1/4 inch wratchet, use 1/4 inch if you have becuase 3/8 or 1/2 you can get carried away and over tighten.
Lets start
First thing obviously let your oil drain..
1. Take off your headers, might want to spray them with some PB blaster or liquid wrench wd40 etc.. whatevers there. (don't forget to unclip the o2 sensor)
2. To the left there is a cover, the ''Flywheel cover'' that has a mount holding it, with the 17mm remove the bolt thats covering the plate, and remove the rest of the 10mm bolts. (this plate is in the way of 3 or 4 bolts)
3. Once your completly free of the flywheel plate and headers, start loosening the 10mm bolts holding the oil pan, make sure to get them all. oil pans can bend and then your kinda screwd. (it adds more work, make sure to remove em all)
4. One your got all the bolts/nuts off carefully pull the pan straight down. it should just come down.
5. If available throw it in the parts washer, if not the sink will do just fine.. (dont be amazed if you find metal shavings, and other kinds of junk. at the way bottom of the pan you will have dirt black honey like oil chillin there wash it all up nicely)
6. This is optional, i would doit becuase your already this far, take off the oil pick up. It's 2 bolts and 2 nuts holding it, clean off the screen really nice and blow it our with air to make sure theres no water in there (same for the pan)
7. Bolt the oil pick up back on, i belive its 30 footlbs? but you can also just get them on there very nice n snug. iether one will work,
8. Put a small layer of the gorilla snot (gasket adhesive) on the pan, and on the gasket. Wait for it to dry for just about 2 mins so it will stick nicely when makes contact. (make sure to flip flop gasket to see which way it goes)
9. After you'v nicely stuck the gasket on the pan one small line of silicone and even it out with your fingers.
10. Get someone to hold the pan in place while you screw the bolts/nuts in. the torque is 8 pounds, but you can also again just snug these in **DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN**!
11. After you got the oil pan back on, bolt in the flywheel cover, and throw the headers back on and your done! (put some anti seaze on the header nuts)
