The XT has an 8088, so you'd want a V-20.  And no, you can't 
necessarily just drop it in and expect everything to be fine.
Anything that depends on software timing loops is subject to
failure (and I've seen lots of machines that just wouldn't
boot for various timing problems, but worked fine if you
could get them booted).  If it WILL work in your particular
machine, you don't need to make any hardware changes.
