I am not sure what a B201 & B202 are, but if you are talking about a "B" block engine then:
If you are using the same transmission then not a problem, if you are going to a 5 speed then you will have a rear (at the radiator) motor mount issue.
What year 900 suspension the 92? If so then the 99 A frames are heaver and I wouldn’t change them out unless they are in bad shape. Anyway the lower A frames are the same except for a mounting bracket the sway bar attachment, I think after around 83 the top A frame may have been shortened a little to accommodate a new rotor assembly. As far as the springs go, pretty much a straight swap.
The 74 99 had a lower pressure electronic fuel delivery system and you will probably have to find a fuel tank out of a 76 or newer 99 if you are going to keep the standard fuel delivery system used on the early turbos.
I did an H block 8 valve turbo swap into a 74 99 and it was a pain, but now that it is done, I really enjoy the car.
