Default Upgrade Cooling system

So I'm planning on swapping a B16A gen 2 into my '95 civic hatch back. I was looking at getting some small performance add ons. But I was wondering if I should upgrade my cooling system? I will be driving the car harder once the new engine is in so it will probably be running hotter. Also I should I be worried about getting an oil cooler? Thank You

Honda's generally come with pretty efficient cooling systems. I could understand upgrading the cooling system if you were going to take the car for a couple of laps around Nurnburgring every now and then, but for every day street driving where the car only gets little pushes, I dont think its needed. If you really wanted to be safe I guess you could through an aluminum core radiator in there.
