Typically when building a home without a specific model of refrigerator determined in advance, the refrigerator is assumed to be 36" wide by 69" tall. Because of differences in floor heights, refrigerator hinge heights and cabinet door swings (cabinet doors above the refrigerator can bump into refrigerator top mount hinges), add an inch or two to the height of the opening. A safe opening size would be 36.5"-37" wide and 70"-71" tall.

How small of an opening should a lintel be put in?

It's not a question of opening size but a question of loading over the opening. No load, no lintel. If a 12 inch opening is capped with a 16" block, the block is the lintel. If an opening is between wall studs there is little need for anything that would be called a lintel. Anouther name for a lintel is a header. There is usually some kind of header over an opening. A lintel's size and integrity is determined by the load it will support.

Is there difference in punch size in blanking and piercing?

Whether it is blanking or piercing, size of opening in sheet is governed by punch and size of cutout piece is governed by Die. So, for piercing, Punch size should be same as required hole size and clearance should be given on Die. For e.g for a hole size Dia 8, punch size should Be 8mm and die size 8 + clearance For Blanking, DIe size should be same as size of blank and clearance should be give on punch. So for a blank of Dia 8, die size is of 8mm and punch size is 8 - clearance.
