GURPS Low-Tech actually has several suggestions that you might start out from: the gunner's quadrant on p. 48 could be adapted to use with an engine, I think; the steel crossbow on p. 74 could probably be scaled up as a dart or rock thrower; there's also going to be a discussion of Roman experiments with pneumatic artillery in LTC2.
