Yes you can keep your gearbox, clutch should be fine.
ECU will need to be the 1.6 and loom is debateable as to whether you get a multi or single point injection engine.
I'm going from 1.29v to 1.68v and the loom from what i can see is the same

You use your gearbox so the shafts dont need changing, shafts are no different to other corsa shafts.
Only need to change the engine mount, cant remember what car you need it off though.

I think it depends on which 1.6 8v, i got a single point injection in my garage and it is EXACTLY the same as the 1.2 single point in the corsa now, only difference is the heads are stamped differently. May be a difference if they are multi to single or vice versa
