Im between buying a h22a or just putting an h23 head on my f22a block. I want to do the swap but im wondering what all i need and how hard it will be to do it right and have it hooked up?

H22A = 200hp.
H23A headswap = less than 160hp.
Aside from just doing a neat project, there's no significant gain to having an H23 head on an F22 block. It'll have .1L less than the H23. It'll have less compression than the H23. It'll have less power than the H23. Since the H23 only makes 20hp more than the F22A6 in the first place, you're really limiting your potential gains, while increasing the potential for reliability issues. If you want to do it for results... don't. If you want to do it to say "I did that"... then go for it. The originality factor is the only good reason to do such a thing.

Any H22A will bolt right up.
Look in the Swaps forum. There is a detailed writeup about that swap.
We can put any H or F series engine in our cars (aside from the s2000 engine, for obvious reasons)
