ok i can answer some of this

u will need to replace your carb fuel lines with the copper ones off a gte or nylon ones off a nova 1.2i, astra, vectra etc

if u aint got a GTE fuel tank i'd seriously suggest getting one as running it from a carb tank is crap (im doin it)

for the cabling just try to match the thicknesses - if its 16 guage wire dont splice it onto 24 guage or you'll be setting things on fire - if u goto maplin and get some heavy duty speaker wire that should do for most of the connections - the main ecu power and fuel pump might need thicker stuff tho

no idea on the water pipe - maybe a nova gte one will fit?
