Well its a simple bolt in job but i did it over 20 years ago so memory is faint, think i used 1600 gti box and linkage, but can offer no more advice.

yes mk1-3 1.5-2.0 all use 020 gearbox that will fit, but you need mk1 5 speed linkage parts and upper gearbox bracket. you have 90mm flanges on your box so bear that in mind, a lot of the 1.8-2.0 boxes have 100mm flanges which means either get later cab/rocco 100mm shafts or fit later 90mm flanges to your box
