I did this conversion on my old car, you will need:

Engine
Gearbox of the 1.2 will fit so thats fine
you need a non pas drivers side front engine mount.
Transponder and chip
And someone who is good with wires

Na, the cat is right after the manifold if you look...

So basically from manifold to about the mid silencer is different
