talk to nbturbo down in south australia about the gear box. he's the last one i saw to fit one.
as for the 71 to 64. it depends on if the 71 is a super or not if its not then most should fit, if it is then not many.

Not much of the body parts will fit the 64
If its a super bug then almost nothing will fit except motor and box with some mods to it
does the doner car have spring front end and struts
where are you located will help with the trans swap

An S bug (73 on) would have less body cuts than an L bug (early super) read Joel's sticky.... Thats a beetle this is a superbug ...
forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=97238.
Supers are a bit wider, the pan is different, guards are different, bonnet and boot completely different, and on the curved windscreen s bug I'd
guess the turret would have a bit of variation in the curve, especially at the front. I'd check that for you but mine doesn't have a roof.
Pretty sure the doors are the same 68 on.
