 would have some concerns leaning a stock 2.0L inline on it's side far
 enough to clear the deck lid. If they are using the stock cast Aluminum
 pan from the diesel vanagons, that's ok. If they haven't addressed this
 and are using the original pan, they are going to be in for some
 lubrication problems. Overfilling the pan by a quart or so will solve
 the problem of the oil pick-up being above the oil level in the pan, but
 will cause it's own problems. These hydraulic valvetrains like their
 oil! (READ: NEED IT!)

The eurospec conversion you better beleive it will have the correct oil pan.
They wouldn't do anything so stupid as putting the incorrect oil pan on.
