The tricky parts are the different clutch and pressure plate styles and sizes, and I think being sure you have the clutch disk which matches the mainshaft splines (not actually tricky, if you know what you need).

The 901 is the same spline as all aircooled VW's, a beetle disc will fit...not that you would use one.

The picture I posted above is an adaptor I made out of a VW flywheel, a CSP performance VW bus 228mm pressure plate and a Sachs 228mm disc. It all bolts to 3.0/6 engine and a 901 (914) transmission.
Note that it would fit any 911 flat 220mm flywheel.
The later 240mm flywheel won't fit a 901 case

BTW When I built the transmission I changed the gearing to A, F, O, X, HA (flipped).
