124 Engine Swap

Can an engine from a 1978 124 be installed into a 1976? I know the answer is on the forum somewhere, but I can't find it.

the only difference in those years was the air pump and alternator mounting

The alternator on the '78 is on the left (intake) side, and cannot be easily moved to the passenger side as it runs on a different groove on the crank. The crank pullies are not interchangeable, but you could have one custom made.
