None but you only have to change the engine side mount to fit any of the 1.2 to 1.6 OHC engines or a baby 16v

In fact it might be just the steel bracket you change, I cant remember
Iirc the chassis leg mount is the same as any other petrol nova,
the mount is the same but the metal bracket is differant only on the engine to chassis thou
So
1.2st
1.3sb
1.4
1.6 8v
1.6 16v
1.8 8v
1.8 16v
2.0 8v
2.0 16v
2.0 turbo
2.5 V6
3.2 V6
could all fit if you just change the engine bracket
stop being clever bazil... all std factory fit small block engines use the same engine & box mount rubbers.....
the 1.0 also has a different bellhousing to the ohc engines, so the box needs swapping too.
A 1Ltr will drop straight in, no mods......
I'll get my coat..
a 1.2 pushrod engine will drop straight in
a 1.2 pushrod engine will drop straight in
if you can find such a thing these days. mk2 astra was the last thing it was put in, i am not sure they even made an unleaded version
