advice needed on the 16v conversion

Hello, I have a 1978 99T. Body is superb, but the engine is failing. I also have a 1991 2.1 turbo engine that I want to put in. I was hoping I could get advice from someone that has done the conversion on the most efficient way to get it in there. I've heard on some models of the 99 you dont have to do quite as extreme firewall mods.
I'd really appreciate some tips on the process i.e firewall mods, electrical adaptation. Any tips and suggestions would really help!
The engine I have is in another 1976 99 EMS of mine. I didn't do the conversion myself, so I dont really know what all is required. It looks like someone took a sledge hammer to the firewall on it. I was hoping I could do it a little cleaner if possible.
The engine I have does not have the APC equipment installed. I'm hoping that will make the wiring adaptation a little easier
