Conversion plate question for ABA swap

[mcnajason]

Hey guys, been collecting parts to ABA swap my A/C vanagon. I like fabricate/make all the parts that i can to keep costs down and have fun doing it! So a kit is out of the question.
My friend offered me his Conversion plate, clutch and flywheel that he took out of his 73 beetle. Will this kit work/line up with my engine/transmission?

I suspect the adapter plate is set for 15 degrees, so that might work if you want an upright install, but the flywheel and clutch are probably way too small in diameter for the ABA.

I DIY'd nearly my entire engine swap, but did a work trade for a used Kennedy adapter plate and flywheel which allow both 15 and 50 degree installs. This was the one area of the install that I didn't want to dick around and try to make something homebrewed work. I suggest you just bite the bullet and either buy a factory diesel 50 degree kit, or a Kennedy kit.

I sourced an inline air cooled kit and the only thing I was able to use was the adapter. It's cheap cast unit that cracks and has cracked before. I had to buy a clutch and flywheel from Kennedy after sending them my adapter to see if it would work.

Pony up and buy a Kennedy kit or gather up the components from a diesel vanagon.
