79 and 80 900 GLi's had 4 speeds. It would be nice to put a filler neck on the valve cover but it's not the end of the world.
I had an extra 4 speed a few years back that came out of a 1980 99 that went into a friends 86 turbo. we used the 99 dipstick and rigged up a hose on a funnel for the oil. If it were my situation I would have modified a valve cover but he didn't seem to mind the extra fill time. After he nuked the 4 speed and went back to a 5 speed he seemed happy to have the larger filler neck again.
The only unusual modifications we ran into other than that was notching the turbo bracket and drilling a diferent hole in the skidplate for the diferent oil drain location.
