Here is a snip of my delayed (dormant) Proto-FAQ on 2.0 Liter swaps.

You might want to add 210mm flywheel, 16v pressure plate, 8v nickel
plated spline
clutch disk, new clutch bolts, input shaft seal, clutch pushrod seal,
new crankshaft
bolts.  Might as well do the clutch while things are apart - always
replace the
tranny seals.  Knock sensor ignition from an A2 donor car (or j&s) also
needs to be
installed.

btw, with a few minor changes you can use the A3 block as well.  My
Cabby has had
both....go with the Audi 80 distributor if you can...that distributor
also works
fine with the eurospec a3 block currently in the car....

Actually consider yourself lucky, I've been doing some body work on my
car lately
and prepping, and believe me prepping and body work puts engine type
stuff to shame
in terms of time spent at least for me....I've been sanding the &*(&(
out of my car
to get everything as flat as possible....

Good luck with the 2.0 swap...

Peter Tong
