 No physical changes. The accessories, like the a/c, the p/s, the alternator, the fan, the flywheel, bellhousing, and the motor mount brackets are all interchangeable with both engines. The only miscellaneous bracket that I found is special with the 16v, is the upper mount for the a/c compressor. It's shaped to go around the exhaust manifold.

 Well, stock for stock, I beleive the 16v 4 door and an 8v 2 door get about 28-30mpg on the highway, stock. Heather gets about 20 in a 4 door with a 16v on 33s, and my lwb sammy got 18 with a carburated 8v 1.6 with 35s. Hope that helps.
