you cant lift it out on a corsa cos of the batterey tray bracket
either way is ok for you
but i lifted the whole car with the engine hoist via rope rounf the anti roll bar then rolled the engine forward and slid it out the side
i tied a rope to the engine trolley i made, lifted the car off the axle stands, while a neighbour slid the engine out from underneath cant beat manual labour

good job mate!
gonna be weird going from a slow 8v car to a relatively quick 16v - you have to drive it completely different.
Get a velo's torque tube on it!

i reckon you should have around 115bhp because full system gives around 5bhp and yours is group a so should give a bit more
