the engine case is the same so should the bellhousing

No the bellhousings are longer, input shaft longer, starters are different to clear the bigger clutch.
Bolt patterns are the same and they are interchangable.
A 2 litre also has longer studs on the bottom of the case.

What exactly is the combination you want to use?
Its the pressure plate which causes the problem. The 2 litre is a bit bigger. Ring gears are the same. An 1800 clutch/flywheel will work in a 2 litre bellhousing with 2 litre starter. Vice versa doesnt work. The flywheels are a direct swap over but I guess VW must have assumed the smaller clutch not up to the task of the 2 litre. It would probably be OK if not fully loaded and/or abused. I actually used an 1800 clutch and flywheel when trying to get my kombi home from newcastle. It was towing my empty car trailer and didnt appear to be slipping.
