1974 EMS - B201 turbo swap?

Hey all, I am picking up a 1974 99 EMS on Saturday to use as a project car. The person selling it to me is giving me several engines with it. (The b202 turbo, and the b201 turbo.)
He told me that the B201 turbo (8v turbo as i understand) has mechanical fuel injection, and as such needs no engine management of any sort. I have several questions, listed below:
1) Will the B201 turbo go into the 99 EMS without much fuss (not including hammering the firewall back a few inches)?
Assuming the answer to that question is 'yes...'
2) What kind of pressure can the B201 turbocharger put out safely? (Just thinking about the turbo itself.)
3) What kind of boost pressure can the block on stock internals take?
4) The guy told me that 900 full suspension will fit right on the 99. (control arms, rear axle, brakes, springs etc) I have a donor 1992 900 turbo convertible. Is this true?
Yes it would be neat to put the 16v turbo in since i have that donor car, but alas all the electronics are dead due to cabin flooding.
5) What should I know about the 99 before I go to far into this project?
Thanks all, I know how annoying it is for the newb to come around and ask a series of questions. Please know that I am not a stupid person, I have done two swaps on japmobiles (nissans mind you, not honduhs) and know the B13 chassis like the back of my hand (1991-1994 sentra and NX).
Thank you so much in advance for answering these questions.
