Engine
loom
Exsturst
ECU (mk1 or mk2 )
dails
tank or full pump?

mpi tank and pump
loom and ecu from donor engine
manifold/downpipe from donor should mate to any aftermarket system
any dials will do, unless you want revcounter ones. You might have to run new tacho wire.

I had some trouble finding a 6-dial set for a mark 1, if the donor car is a mark 2, consider fitting its dash aswell, as the wiring+fitting is different for the dials.

You'll need to run new fuel lines too, the carb one is low pressure, and has no return. The mpi ones need a return hose, and a much higher pressure. If i remember correctly, you can use your existing line from the carb as the return line though.

The 1.2/1.3/1.4 carb engines have a return line, its only the 1L that doesn't.
Ye, it is recommended to swap the lines, but i know a few people that haven't.

Think you will need new driveshafts, as the gsi/gte ones are different? Someone else will need to confirm this though as im not 100%
