Tell him to fit a 2.0 16v and not the 8v. Far better engine.
He'll need:
Engine, box and loom
M-Tech or similar fitting kit consisting of shafts, mounts, hubs and spacers
Better brakes - either veccy V6 or GTE 2lt ones will be fine.

for a 16v you need to:
smack for fook out the chassis rail directly under the suspension turret
bend the clutch cable exit down and to the right
cut 10mm off the left hand hater matrix pipe
seam weld all the engine bay

Wouldn't bother with the 8v. Personally, I'd go for a 1.6 16v from a Corsa.
Best go for one with a metal inlet manifold - X16XE I think they're called.
