You can use all your existing brackets and everything.  Just throw a new
headgasket on and you're ok.  Oh, you will need to remove/ or push in one
of the dowels for lining up the head.  I believe it's the one on the
transaxle side.  Outside dimensions for the 2.0 and 1.8 are the same when
it comes to length and height.
