Well, nothing is *absolutely* necessary.. :-)  

I think the difference lies in that the 16V engines used a wider timing 
belt (for durability?) so if you don't swap in 16V pulleys, then your 
timing belt will hang over the edge. I would think that crank cogs  and 
intermediate shaft pulleys from a 1.8 16V block would be fine. These 
should be pretty cheap.

As far as the whole intermediate shaft being different, I don't know. 
They might be different from the 8V to accomodate the oil pump system, 
and the 2.0 might be different from the 1.8. Someone will know, call 
Potterman, God of all things VW.
