yes just remove studs that dont line up there is more than enough left for the job
i thought you had to use a 200tdi flywheel housing...no?

I've got a 1989 90 with an lt77 and 300tdi, I didn't do the conversion, the previous owner did but it appears that most of the holes line up between the bellhousing/engine. I do have 2 studs missing but it's still plenty strong enough without them. Have a look in the 300TDi section, somebody is doing a 300 conversion there. let me know if you need any more info and i shall see what i can do

I thought you had to cut the transmission tunnel and seatbox though because the gearbox is a different shape?

Well I'll take that as being half right and I learnt something as a bonus.

No because he is leaving his LT77 where it is and is fitting a 300tdi to his vehicle, so what will happen is the 300tdi will sit further back by about 4 inches but it will mate up fine.
