the corsa 1.0i is slow anyway i used to struggle with mine going up any sort of steep hills.
best thing you can do is ligthten it
and you dont have to re-register your car just tell the DVLA that you have put a new engine in it, and tell them the engine serial number

Are there any other problems with it?
Like a jerking sensation when pushing down on the accelerator or something else?

Whats your engine speed like when your going up a hill? does the rpm drop with your speed or does your speed drop but rpm stay the same/go higher?
