This seems like the logical place

Kind of. Wish there was a forum section for just swap questions?
Putting a 1.8 into my 1.6 chassis. Don't see anything on the 1.6 motor/harness that would take advantage of these two items pictured below on my 1.8 - do i just pull them off and disregard?
Wire connector above the alternator bracket:

Extra crank sensor? 1.6 doesn't use one that I see....I'm assuming it just relies on the CAS on the back of the head alone?

Sorry if this is in the wrong area or a no brainer. I searched out images to compare and swap how to's and didn't see anything referenced.

I defer to Braineack's comment: https://www.miataturbo.net/diy-turbo...6/#post1296913
Second is a Crank position sensor for the , but if you're using the CAS from the 1.6L on the exhaust cam, you won't need this.
Looks like this is a 1.8L from an NA?

Then you can do as you wish with these superfluous parts. Are you running megasquirt already? If you do not plan to run sequential ignition/fuel then you can just run a toothed ring on the crank pulley for higher resolution.
I just happen to have a 36-1 available that fits supermiata harmonic dampers
