Distributor choice?? Polo GT engine into a mk1 golf

We are currently building a Mk3 polo GT engine (3f) to fit into a mk1 golf


The spec so far is

rebuilt bottom end with slight increase in bore
ported and polished head
schrick 252/276 cam
volkwagen motorsport inlet manifold
twin 40 dellorto carbs

GT gearbox
G40 clutch

and a few other odds and sods.

The question i've got for you guys is what ignition set up to use??

The cam has obviously got provisions for the mk3 polo distributor (which has a peg drive system) whereas the golf setup has a slot drive

Would we be able to use a Mk2 polo set up with any clearance issues??

Thanks
