I think you would also need to change out the water pump to match the cooling system plumbing, and also remove the oil cooler unless you used the 2.1's exhaust.  Maybe someone knows if removing the oil cooler would let you use the 1.9 complete with exhaust.

I see that page shows 2 in PA. Can't hurt to ask?
I know a 1.9 is a downgrade but if a complete one with good exhaust came up for the right price, not too hard to adapt to your 2.1 wiring etc?
Just a thought.
