Are you saying you are prepared to move/fabricate mounts if necessary, or that you don't want to move mounts?
If you don't want to move mounts, you are limited to 1.1 & 1.3 petrol engines from the early VW range.
If you are prepared to move/fabricate mounts, the world is your oyster! How about a 5.0L V8???!!!

Mk3 Polo 1.3 GT (3F) is a dead simple swap.
If you don't mind from fabrication (move one engine mount) you can fit 1.8 8v GTI and with a different exhaust manifold, 1.8 GTI. Mk3 Golf engine does fit (but is taller) on GTI mounts so 2.0 16v is a possibility.
1.8 G60 supercharged and 1.8 20valve Turbo will go in but there are more modifications to do.
VR6 is NOT a simple swap but has been done. All depends on your budget.
If you've got now much ???'s then Mk3 Polo 1.3 GT is your best bet.

Polo 6n2 1.6 16v will bolt pretty much straight in.
I've been thinking of putting a 1.6 16v Polo engine in but i'm not up on the Polo's that much so hopefully u can shed some light. What year is the 6n2 out of? Do u know what exact mods need doing for this to go in as i have the same car as lpkpjh… is it just one mount needs moving or do i have to relocate anything like the servo etc? All help is much appreciated from the experts!!

My friend is trying to by a Seat Arosa off a guy on evil bay and it's had the Polo 1.4 16v engine out of a 98-02 Polo if i remember rightly, then the guy had a turbo put on it by TSR apparently lol i bet that flies….. Would the standard version of that engine fit easily that u know of?
Oh and one final thing…. i've always been curious about the mk4 Tdi or even the GT TDi engines fitting in a mk1… Would that be lots of work do you think? I'm not planning on doing it as i'm not experienced enough but just curious as i said

None of those parts apart from possibly the brakes, would be any use.
Tank = Mk1 Golf GTI
Suspension = Mk1 Golf GTI or aftermarket sports suspension, or coilovers
Drive shafts = any big block Mk1
Steering arm = any 5 speed big block Mk1
