Actually, Scott, there are two differences.  One is the additional oil
pressure switch that you mentioned, and the other is where the plenum
bracket bolts to the case near the flywheel.  To use a 2.1 plenum on a
1.9 case you either need a spacer or you need to reshape the bracket.
To bolt a 1.9 plenum to a 2.1, you need to reshape the bracket.

With a 2.1 engine in an '85 Westy (using a 2.1 plenum, though).
