With the regular A-series I don't think anything special is required to fit the duplex chain and gears. The duplex chain was used on the Cooper-S engines without any special steps.

You need to remove the chain tensioner.
Several different timing covers were used, with or without the oil separator, depending on which breather system the engine uses. You may have to change the cover itself, but probably not.

The tensioner is not to put tension in to the chain but to take up slack. A new tesioner is just a flat plastic pad. Fitting it is optional but its no different to fitting to a standard simplex chain.

it is a1979 body the engine is out of 84/85 1300 metro so im toldOthers will have to confirm if I am correct, but I thought the A+ engine was introduced in 1980. Assuming from your login name that your car is a 1979, it would have the original A-series engine.
