Yes, use the loom from a mk3 Fiesta 1.6S or mk5 Escort 1.6 carb. I've got a feeling you'll need the carb as well unless you can pick the vacuum pipe up from the one you have with the engine.
Hope that helps - a bit!
What are you going to do about fuel tank though if you're putting it in an XR2i won't it be electronic fuel pump up to a manual pump on the CVH you have?
Cheers,
