either mod the 1200 mount or get an engine mount from an 1980something 1200 ute. there are pics on this site showing the engine mounts, just search. radiator upgrade you may want to consider especially for long highways drives and city traffic. a gemini radiator is a popular conversion. search again - lots of pics.
brakes u already have disc front maybee upgrade to stanza struts/120Y castor rods for improved braking/handling/tire size. u can use your 4 speed box with an A15 with no changes to gearbox mounts.
im currently in the process of preparing to put in an A15 into my coupe too.

thanx mate. what type of modifications you done to the a15? i have twin 40 dhla dellortoe carbs. i am in the process of trying to find a manifold for them, but first things first the car is about to be sent away to be painted. i have done most of the body preping myself and am getting sick of seeing it in primer grey. lol

mods include completely new internals, bored out to around 1588cc ported swirly head. replaced stage2-3 cam. 10:1 compression. twin 40 weber carbs fuel pump. oil cooler. electronic distributor. try ebay for a manifold they sell on there all the time for around $100.
your streets ahead of me with the body repairs, mine has had a beating all its like from an old lady, then sandwiched by some old bastard near Windsor. ive got a few new panels (from ebay) but havnt done much with them yet
