Porsche engine yoke and VW engine

My new to me 1970 VW fastback runs pretty good, but leaks oil like the Exxon Valdez. This winter I’m planning on pulling the engine and doing a reseal. I’ve still got the 911 engine yoke from when I rebuilt my 911 engine years ago. I remember reading about where people would use a VW yoke to hold the 911 engine, but can you do the reverse? Will a 911 engine yoke hold a VW engine without modification?

I think it depends on the year of the 911 block.

My buddy has a Porsche yoke holding his 2.0 out of a 914 right now, shouldn't be a problem.
