Hi rik.
Alternator will fit no problem, wont blow up battery as the voltage regulator will look after the charge rate.
Cam will also fit, change the timing belt and tensioner while you are there.
Filter should also be OK if the Webber is a direct replacement for the pierburg.

If the standard 1.6 airbox fits without modification then the K&N filter will too :)
