I have managed to unmount the interior from the donor car

but I have encountered my 1st problem in the engine bay :
The donor car ( 2001 ) has the old style coil packs , the one that stay over the "V" of the engine , the newer car ( 2003 ) has the ones which stay on top of the spark plug. No issues here but someone removed the newer style from the 03 car and adapted the older style only on the front 3 coils and they are flying all over the place because the newer model doesn't have the "fixings" to place them over there. I was planning to buy a set of 3 coils , the later, version to bring the car to the original spec; here is the problem, the computer plugs are different and my car in the front only has the older style. Will the engine work fine with 3 new style coils and 3 old style coils?
