u wont need any tensioner.... u will be using the altenator as one......
i swaped out my 1.2 8v for a c16xe only last week.
i had to get a braket made up... simple
it ma be different on yours
adam-d done one a 1.4 8v to c16xe and he just used the brackets off the 1.4 8v.

use the both brakets and the altenator itself off your 1.4....
u will need to change the crankshaft pulley to do this.
or u could use the altenator thats on the c16xe and get a bracket made up as i have mentioned above.......
