If your engine is a 12v, then it's a 1.0, not a 1.2
However, if you mean your 1.2 is an 8v, then no, the loom, ECU and mounts will be different.

Yep, mine's an Envoy 
Because it has 3 cylinders, you won't be able to use the ECU etc with the 1.2.
You'd be best off putting another 12v in, getting a 1.4 put in properly, or getting DaveyLC to put a 1.8 16v in.
Open the bonnet and look, if it's like this then it's a 1.0 12v
