nope.... sorry.... the Lemans came with a 1.6L SOHC throttle body injection or a 2.0L SOHC throttle body injection
The turbo engine in my Lemans is a 2.0L SOHC MPFI Turbo from 1987 to 1991 Pontiac Sunbird GT Turbo and Pontiac Grand Am SE Turbo.
This turbo 2.0L is the same family of engine as the 2.0L SOHC TBI in the Lemans......so you pull out the 2.0L TBI and drop in the 2.0 MPFI turbo.
The non-turbo Sunbird/Grand Am had a 2.0L SOHC MPFI that had a little more horsepower than the Lemans TBI engine.
The Lanos uses a DOHC variant of the old Lemans 1.6L SOHC
The Nubira uses a DOHC varient of the old Lemans/Sunbird/Grand Am 2.0L SOHC
The Leganza uses a Stroked version of the Nubira 2.0L DOHC
So.... since the Lanos is an Astra/Lemans chassis it's very easy to throw in any number of 2.0L engines to give the Lanos more power.
For the Lanos with the front engine mount (not centered in the middle of the timing belt ) the older 8V engines are the best choice because they also used the front mount.
So.... to drop a 2.0L 8V TBI or a 2.0L 8V MPFI or a 2.0L 8V MPFI Turbo engine into a Lanos all you need is the front engine mount from a 2.0L Lemans.
It's just that simple...... the 2.0L 8V was a factory option for the Lemans so it fits in the Lanos as thought it were like that from the factory.
The big issue with the engine swap has allways been sorting out the electrical system..... it's not too bad if you know what your doing.... but it might be a little over the head of a beginner who has never been involved in an engine swap.
