Done this on my daughter's 1998 1.2 Punto and it is easy. Firstly, go and buy one so you know what it looks like. It clips in to a 'plug' on top of the cam belt cover, and sits lower down looking at the crankshaft pulley - I think one bolt holds it in.
Mr Fiat runs the cable partly inside the cam belt cover, don't bother with this and run your new one externally. Simples.
