Its just as easy to stick with the carb.

If you remove the carb and go with the spi you will loose power and I would think mess the running of the engine up as the engine was designed to run with carb.

All you need to do is use your original coil and distribitor off the 1.4 engine,

Remove the pump from the tank and replace it with some pipe, you can get to the pump under the back seats,

Thats pretty much it mate if you need any help give me a shout am I right that the 1.6s engine is from a MK1 Astra GTE? that would make the engine quite old if I was you make sure it is runnning tidy before you swap it.
