I have a 5 speed from a '87 190E 2.3 8v behind my stock OM606. The clutch is smaller (8.5") than the one from a 2.3 16v (9" I think). The 8.5" clutch is just big enough for the stock 606, any smaller and it would probably be an issue. The transmission itself should hold up to quite a bit more power than a stock 606 makes.
The shorter gearing of the non-overdrive trans should mean you won't have to do a diff swap, although I wouldn't do one with an overdrive trans either.
Not sure if you really meant 2.5 16, but if it's an '89 or newer I believe it has the dual mass flywheel, not sure if that will work on the 606....
