A couple of corrections: Chain driven primary gear was not introduced until model year 1978. All 99s model year 1980 and newer have the 5 speed chain cover, no matter if they are 4 or 5 speed, as do all euro 90s.
A 1974 gearbox is probably the best choice for your 1970 99T project. My first "99 turbo" was an old 1974 X7, that I transplanted a 1979 900T engine into. The car was much lighter than a 900T and was a blast to drive. I took off with spinning tires at nearly every light, but never had any problems with the car's original 1974 4 speed gearbox.
