No. Most of it will hook straight up again I believe. You may need to change a plug here and there, but not too much. And just run a small aftermarket tacho if you want one.

Remember you'll want to jump out the external regulator, as 1.3 alternators are internally regulated.

You don't need to change the whole loom, just be thoughtful and work through each plug/issue as it arises. It's been done before.
