I did it in my gsi donkeys years ago
basically I kept my gsi box. Used a combo of nova and corsa engine mounts. Corsa downpipe and nova cat. Just needed to grind the inner bit off the exhaust coupling. The wiring was basically colour to colour.
Very easy

I'd just use the corsa box, Nova shafts fit. Use all 3 nova mounts.

Theres a rough guide over on PNG.
