lol Shafts, any shafts.
Exhaust if your fitting a C16, or you fit a C16 exhaust downpipe a SR center should just bolt up.
Wiring, colour for colour. About 6-9 wires iirc. I done the 1400 conversion which is the same.

very easy to do, i extended the wires so they followed the nova loom down the passenger side instead of down the drivers side like on the corsa. mounts will be a combo of nova and corsa, can't remember exactly but mines a c16 and fitted up nicely with the nova mont on the wing. as said c16 manifold and downpipe fits to the nova centre section although i think you need do grind a part down on it to get them to match nicely, i used my std nova gsi box and shafts with a corsa clutch, you'll need an extra pipe on the expasion bottle though. I can take some pics if you get stuck as the car is in the yard, just let me know

Id use the corsa gearbox my self, as its F15 rather than F13. There preety much the same anyways.
Nova shafts fit the corsa box fine.
Let us know what pics you want and il get some too.
As for alternator, depending how much space you have you could leave the wide stuff ( i have and have never had a problem) but if you dont have enough space you can run the nova alternator but you will need to find the correct bottom pully for the crank sensor.
Hope this helps.

you can literally swap out the engine on standard nova engine mounts if you dont want to run PAS.. As for the shafts/gearbox etc. small blocks are all the same so mix and match as you wish.
