As you found out the knock sensor CPU curves the spark advance/retard as needed. The ABA also has a trigger wheel should you eventually decide to use standalone engine/spark management.

The stock brackets should work fine but be advised that the threaded bolt holes my need re-tapped. Mine were rough if they hadn't been used before.
As to the gasket it's due to making sure the proper holes are uncovered. I didn't check to see exactly where the differences were.

From what I've gathered putting the AC compressor in on the serp belt system in the MK1 chassis is doable IF you put the compressor in AFTER the engine is in. And the MK1 compressor will work in the brackets IF you change the pulley to the serp belt pulley available from here...http://www.jegs.com/i/March+Performa.../P475/10002/-1
This is what I'm planning for this summer.

Most 8V heads have various oil and coolant passages but not always in the same place. To make sure the proper ones match up the 16V gasket is used because the holes are in the right places to allow the flow.
