Also are there any other changes i would need to do when fitting an a-series engine in to a mini that has previously been fitted with an A+ engine?

Is this the 1275 GT engine you're asking about?
If it's an early 1275 GT and you say the gear selector looks different... is it a remote shift? You may have to do some creative routing of exhaust pipes to fit a remote to a late model car's floor. I've never done this so I don't know what brackets and such you'd need.
I'm not sure about the driveshaft issue. The 1275 GT was probably too early for pot joints. Does it have the Hardy-Spicer joints? I'm pretty certain there's more than replacing just the driveshafts if you want to put pot joints on this gearbox. Ping GuessWorks.
The distributor will be different. You'll want a 25D4 or 45D4 for the A-series.
If the engine still has a generator (could be if it's very early) you'll probably want to buy an alternator bracket for the block. From memory, the A+ blocks moved the mounting boss for the alternator bracket so you won't be able to move the A+ bracket to the A-series block.
Post pictures if you can.
