Use the 1a inlet manifold/throttlebody
unless you want to solder 1b injector conectors on then use the 1a injectors(i just soldered the later connectors to the 1a loom-10 mins work)
The TPS plug has to types, check which is on your existing loom and change the tps if necessary.
Distributers are different, use the correct one for the engine
The water temp connector was different between the looms(again i just soldered the one i needed onto the existing loom.
Right hand engine hanger and the actual mount are different, i ended up using a 1b mount and hanger but i had to cut off some of the tube that holds the mounting bolt as it is too wide for the 1a chassis.
Sounds alot but if you plan it all out then it just kinda happens, mine is running fine now and has been trouble free..
