Just a quickie.
If I'm running a 2000 vtr atm, if I got any old GTI engine, what else would I need to make it work, e.g if it was a 03 plate 3 plug and mile was a 96 1 plug. Don't know if they exist but just to get the example..
If the engine and car were the worst match ever what would I need extra?

The only loom you change is the engine loom. The interior loom can stay put

With regards to the engine mount thats under the ECU it would be well worth keeping the VTS one on the car and getting the appropriate mounting bracket welded on in order to do this (lesser modelled 1.0 and 1.1 has a more basic mount as you've pointed out but im sure this was uprated by Citroen for a reason)
To get the correct mounting bit you cannot buy it direct from citroen but if you do a bit of calling around local scrappys where a 1.4/vtr/vts has already had its engine removed then with a good drill bit and a screwdriver you can take the bracket off and get it welded onto your car fairly cheaply.
Also with the fuel return line a 1.0 and a 1.1 is fortunate enough to already have a return line plumbed in (kinda helpful there) so this is really easy to get around.
For 1.4 and vtr owners you can get the return lines from a scrappy (theyre a pain to remove) or you can buy the parts new from citroen and feed them into your car relatively easily by following the supply line from the engine bay to the pump or vice versa.
If anyone wants the part numbers for the fuel lines i can find these out for you if needed

The 1.4 has all the correct mounting points needed without any potential need for modification

Im a bit confused on the engine mount front lol. Got a MK1 vtr single and i have a single VTS engine to go in. The mounts at first glance look exactly the same. Is this my dodgy eyes fooling me lol

Theyll be the same on yours Tom
Drivers side (under ecu) mount is the only one that varies
1.0 and 1.1 have a very basic mount which is easily identifyable as it doesnt have the 'domed' shape on top or a noticeable spot welded on bracket.
1.4/vtr/vts all have the larger domed shape mount which bolts onto the spot welded bracket on the inner leg.
Ill try and find some pics of mine (should be some in my engine progress thread)
