I just did a VR6 swap on a '99 NB, and honestly, it really wasn't that big of a job. It took me two weeks of time... and all that was after working 8-5 every day. I started with a running/driving 2000 Jetta, and a running/driving '99 Beetle.

The biggest time consumer was waiting to get my ECU back from the tuner who disabled the immobilizer! And the gas pedal install was a pain because the Beetle had a mechanical throttle cable, and the Jetta was throttle by wire... the gas pedal mounts are different, but I didn't feel like removing all of the pedals/dash support and stuff so I just drilled the spot welds out of the pedal mount from the Jetta and put it in the Beetle (plus throttle pedal wiring.)
