There  are a lot of year to year differences, so I wouldn't do this 
unless they  are the same year (and in '71 there were mid year 
changes.) There are 2  basic harnesses: front and rear. I don't think 
the front one changed much,  if at all, year to year '69-on.



Right, all the 70 and later cars should be the same, as the 70 an on got  
longer front fenders than the 69 and earlier were shorter.
Like Jim mentioned, the 71 main wiring harness had a mid year change, in  
that the wiring harness was moved from outside the car (over the inner rear  
fender), to thru the back seat wall. This results in the wiring harness 
being  about 2 feet shorter (saved VW some money). This new rear harness also 
got  the connections (extra wires) for the computer diagnostic system that the 
 dealers used (way back then), that was used thru the end of production. 
Just  something to think about.
