How difficult it is depends on what tranny your using and what steering 
knuckles you have.  Some of the earlier trannys (pre-84 I think) do not have 
enough clearance for the larger flanges, but you can machine the case to fit 
them.  I believe that the knuckles that were equipped with 90mm cvs will not 
fit 100mm cvs, but I'm not sure.  

Other than that, it's not hard at all. If you're building a 2.0 16v, I'd do 
it.  VW thought it was worth the expense for the durability/reliability.

How's your swap going?
