IMHO, yes.

Not quite right.  RB = 140 Corsa (no a/c, as Ed pointed out).  I've never seen "SHPE" used with Corvair engine codes before.

RV isn't a Corsa code, it wouldn't have had the Corsa parts on it.  Think of it like a paint code - black is not red.  If the car is supposed to be blue, it has a code for the correct color.  When they had a Corsa come down the line, it got a Corsa engine.  If you try to put something else in, it won't hook up correctly.
