You'll need the fuel pump, yes, the speedo won't work unless the (1.6) gearbox you have is cable driven (bare in mind you can use the 1.2 gearbox though, so that's fine). I don't think you need the fuel lines, but I'm not 100% sure.

You will need a new driver's side engine mount though, for a Non-aircon 1.4/1.6 with PAS.

The PAS will be fine, as long as you have the right mount.

Radiator, you'll want a 16v one, as it's bigger than the 1.2 one.

As for the loom, I haven't got the foggiest, but Rob's guide on my site probably explains that bit, if you look at that again.

I think you have everything else covered

Your 1.2 8v gearbox wont cope with the extra torque from the 1.6 16v.

Depends on the year, it can be an F10/4, F10/5, F13/4 (apparently ), F13/5CR or F13/5WR

I'd say if it's 5 speed, it'll be an F13 though.
