if you want 5 speed you'll have to make a custom gearbox mount, using half the old 1.3 moutn welded to polo mount, you might have to find a mk2/f polo one not sure what the 1.4 16v box mount is like

I already had a 5 speed conversion so didn't face the mount problem but getting the engine in was a doddle.

Ignition wise I'm running the TCIH vacuum advance distributor from a polo along with the matching ignition coil and amp.
Carbs are CBR-600 on a homemade manifold. With the needles shimmed slightly and 138 main jets.
Gearlinkage is a combination of mk1 golf 4 speed and polo 5 speed parts.
Overall it's not to bad an engine swap to do mate.

Also, is there any reason to go for the earlier 1.4 16v's over the later ones, which look to have a different rocker cover but is there any other difference?
Cheers,
Matt

for fueling either fit a gti fuel tank, or drop a post-84 cabrio, scirocco injection or any petrol engine g40 shape polo lifter pump in the tank, and the swirl pot from under the car
main pump a gt or g40 pump or any mk1 injection unit would do, plus a fuel filter from an EFI car such as digifant mk2, any petrol mk3, any g40 shape polo etc. fuel lines you could use rubber lines all the way up, or plastic ones off a more modern VW will probably fit ok
main thing with the early and late lumps is the early polos have the CE2 fusebox same as 90spec mk2 gofl and mk3, so in that way it might make it easier for you. after that they switch to mk4 golf style setup which uses a fuse plate and a seperate relay carrier, no real 'fusebox' anymore
