Just remember that If you fit a different specification engine it will in effect become "modified". Your insurance will certainly jump up. Not because of a bigger engine or anything, just the simple fact that a modification has taken place is enough for a premium hike.

Cavalier, Vectra, Astra, Zafira and Calibra all used variants on the same 2.0 16v engine but being front wheel drive they will have different engine mounts, sump pans, dipsticks and one or two other bits.
They can all be taken from the engine you take out of the Omega and fitted to the replacement.
It's a couple of hours of easy work to swap it all over - even easier if you have an engine stand.

If you already have the same spec engine in the car then you can just use the existing loom and ECU.

Yes but you will need to fit the flywheel off the manual engine using new bolts, and you will need to fit a spigot bearing.
Total cost about £20-30.
