Definitely!

The 100mm axles cost the same, so if you have the hub carriers, you're
halfway there.

What transaxle do you have?  
The '84 and up, transaxles accept the larger 100mm axles. 

The earlier 5 speeds, FF, FO, FN, 2H have to be machined to clear the
larger 100mm driver's side CV flange. 

>Would the 100mm setup weigh much more?
The 100mm axles weigh a little more, but it is negligible.
