1600 will bolt streight in

alternaotr and pulley will need swapped for one from a crank sensor equipped v-belt car (nova sri, some astras etc) unless u want to make a cutout/dent in the chassis leg to clear the std unit

u need to use the corsa engine loom which is simply 6 wires to connect to the nova and away you go

the exhaust manifold will need fettled, either the nova downpipe bent to fit or the corsa one extended to fit onto the nova system

you'll also need to fit an MPI fuel pump, astra mpi pump will fit and do the job
