How big a size difference are you looking at between the wood fire place and the insert? It should just slide in and you might need to trim out the sides with a fire resistant material.
Really, the only area that gets hot is usually the base of the insert, where the heating element is. As long as that is clear, you're likely okay.
We've used an insert in both our faux fireplaces and like the small 'log only' one we're using now.
