If you are using the 1.3 head you won't need to do any wiring changes.

but im not using a 1.3 head just asking should i use the 1.3 head

I'd use the 1.6 head. They are basically the same except the 1.6 has slightly bigger valves. The 1.3 manifold will bolt to the 1.6 head but that's not a great idea because of the smaller carb.

Have a look to see what wires are going to the 1.6 carb. There might be a couple of solenoids on the manifold too. Post up what you find and we can probably sort it out.

so a 1.3 intake manifold willl bolt up that would help heaps cause i have a snorkel but comes out other side the 1.6 intake crosses over to the other side of the motor or could i just put the intake stuff to the carby off a 1.3 to my 1.6 carby

The throat size of the carbs are different, so just swapping over the hats isn't going to work.

I removed the jack mount on the passenger side guard an mounted the stock 1.3 air box on that side. Then hooked it up to the 1.6 crossover pipe. I made a connecting pipe out of exhaust tube and bends to match them up, which you can have a look at if you want.

I had a 1.3 in a Sierra, a Megasquirted 1.3 using a 1.6 TBI manifold in a Sierra, and now i've got a 16v 1.6 with factory management in a Sierra. None of which will help you much

Have you looked on suzukiinfo.com? You should be able to find a manual for you Vit there, and i'm guessing that will have a wiring diagram in it.
