Don't get to discouraged. The firewall issue is only about clearing the pullys on the 16v. 3 ways: hydralic press, cut a small section, then weld in a spot, roughly and fill with bondo, or use a big hammer. Then I think you need to weld in the 16v mounts, and a support. Then you just need tio figure out how to bolt all the little stuff, get some aftermarket fans and whatnot.
The suspension is totally separate from the drivetrain. Certainly a 75-79 99 will make things easier for the suspension. That 99 may be pre-metric and if you read some of the post various mountings change. Other than the steering rack most everything bolts on I think. Except for the mount for the rear handbrake cable inside, that needs a weld.
Certainly finding a 75-79 99 shell, a turbo 78-81 engine and trans, springs, anti-roll is petty much bolt in affair. any 78-93 trans will work. Searching for this narrow range of donor cars will produce an easier ad-hoc 99 and be plently quick handling.
