the quickest tell is the single fuel line,
FWIW if it's an auto and the original CX trans is still there, it has to be a solid lifter car.

What is the vin of the nova engine?

Would that be a 3/8 or a 5/16 fuel line on the 6 cylinder car?

If it is a power steering car look for the deep groove pulley on the power steering pump that is usually not changed with a engine change.
