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.
