How do you check what body type you've got on the Corsa b? Is it a rule of thumb thing for example by year of manufacture? Or specifics to check?

Apparently, when doing an engine conversion there are 2 body types stated for the corsa b. And i'm wondering which mine is, its a P reg Corsa Sport with no power steering.

correct me if this is wrong but I was told.....
type 1 is 8 valve ie...1.2 8valve and
type 2 is multi valve ie....1.0 12 valve
as the looms and fuel systems are different.

Torsa G is right, its just a different offside mount. The mounts are different between power steering and non power steering/ air con models and not by the year
