4 speed is your best bet. The gear shifter holes in the transmission tunnel are different on the 1.3L 5sp, and the bellhousing will require an adapter.
I'll buy your g'box for $50 if you don't want it.

The best option would be a 1.6EFI vit motor and sierra 5sp, but you could settle for a 1.6 carb or 1.3 sierra motor too.
Either way you will need to run the sierra 5sp. It IS worth the time to do this conversion.
