I agree with the bud, it would probably be cheaper and easier to use the 16v 33 instead of transplanting.
IMHO, the older shape 33 doesn't really have much benefit compared to the 16v. I'm pretty sure the difference in weight is because of the extra things in the 16v like power-steering and aircon and the heavier 16v engine. So if you are thinking of doing this because the older 33 will be lighter, you might want to reconsider!
A sud or a sprint will, however, be lighter.
And I can't speak for the 33, but when I tried to fit the power steering to my sud, I found that the splines that connect the steering column were different to that on the steering rack. So while it would be possible by changing those splines - it wasn't a direct fit for me.
The engine will go straight in though, but you will need the 16v crossmember.
Hope I was helpful for you!
Cheers.
