There's a reason somebody put the weber on the Scirocco.

VWs up to about 80? 81? used a purely mechanical fuel injection, other than maybe a heater in the warm up regulator because it didn't warm up fast enough for the government. Shortly after that they added a Oxygen sensor and a valve on the fuel distributor to try to control the mixture. The 85 probably also has a solid state ignition where the 80 would still have points.

I'm probably biased because all my VW tuning was on the early cars, you could probably swap everything over and not have a problem, but I wouldn't do it.
