The check control wires form part of the main wire loom running the length of the car. So the short answer is No (not without Major work)

Easy on the funny baccy!
If your new enginine has the oil level sensor and the coolant tank has its sender, then its just about possible to wire up these two functions. The lamp failure part of the check control involves a different main car body loom.
Can be changed over, but you'd have to be keen.
