Seems like it's fairly easy for an EX, having talked to ppl who've done it... but I haven't spoken to anyone with an HX who've performed a swap - any forseeable problems there that you can think of?
As to the difficulty of swapping an engine into an HX, its the same procedure as an EX. Shouldn't be any different assuming your dropping an OBDII into a 6th gen Civic. I belive a problem only wxists when doing a swap into a DX or LX cause you have to run a wire for the VTEC solenoid.
