It looks like they use the same mounting locations, but I'd make sure that there is enough room in there for it to fit widthwise and that the filler neck is the same. Proceed with caution, and it may work... but I think that at the least it may be a larger capacity tank.
There was a chassis break on those parts. Can't remember where, but the Classic Center could tell you.

Your best bet would be getting a tank, sending unit, and mounting hardware from a W111 or W110 donor. As long as you get these components matched from the same donor car, it should fit and work just fine.
