-You will need mounts.
-You'll need thermo fans to make it fit and you're radiator will at a minimum need to be cleaned properly.
-You'll need a new exhaust.
-You'll need an EFI fuel setup, probably best to grab tank straight from RA65.
-Probably best to change the timing belt before it goes in, but its not a necessity.
-Probably best to change the oil seals before it goes in, but again, not a necessity.
-You'll need to jimmy up some IC piping.
-You may want to replace the clutch at this stage.
-Don't forget to budget for fluids and filters, they all add up.

As Rob suggested. Do a search of the forums and the tech articles section and then ask questions.
There are a few things that JCMF missed out like moving the radiator outlet and installation of extra fuel piping.

I don't believe such a conversion has ever been attempted.
You will be a pioneer.
If you need help, I believe there will be a self help forum at www.1GGTEintoanyfuckingCelica.net.au . They only have 85476825632186587156 members. [/sarcasm]

Yeah, but we all try to add our own flavour, in the way of turbo upgrades and LPG and the like.
