I did the swap on my 99 civic hatch (converted from 99 civic si doors) You should use the factory actuators for the door locks. They are not as hard as they seem and will not break down like aftermarket ones (especially when you manually lock or unlock the door, the factory actuator will work a lot better). With the swap however, you're both better off swapping the parts, that way, you don't have to change the master cylinder in the door jambs and repaint the door. On top of that, the swap bolts right onto your door. Wiring however, is quite difficult. It took me all day because I had to run cables back and forth across the car. I would recommend that you have a car audio shop do the wiring if you're not experienced with electrical parts on your car. Also, you would need some heavy duty cables for the power line, at least 10 guage when using power cables.
