Chaviot/Land Rover question

I have bought a Chaviot 2000 with a non running 200Tdi engine. I thought it was a 300 so bought a replacement 300 to go in it (until I took the sprayer off and could see more clearly!). Will the 300 just swap places with the 200 or do I need to find another 200? I'm thinking engine mount points and bell housing. Also, can I just lift engine and gearbox out on one lifting eye or is that asking too much of it? The other end is under the cab.

mulling this over,

Manual gearbox on the Chavtrac, or auto?
Will the clutch / torque converter swap over?
Are the bell housings the same?
Engine mounts?

Is your 300tdi the mechanical fuel pump version (as per the Chavtrac version), or does it require an ECU?
200tdi had a couple of serpentine belts iirc, 300tdi has 1. Will the ancillaries line up? Hydraulic pump etc?
Steering pump (etc) on the 300tdi version was modified at the factory (extension pipe welded on) will the 200 version swap over?

I have a parts book somewhere with exploded diagrams...
