Should be fine, although you'll need to sort out something to drive the speedo electronically as IIRC the 02J has no speedo drive. 

Is the unit you have 5 or 6 speed?  If it's only 5-speed an 02A would be fine instead - definitely has the mechanical speedo drive on it.

Make sure you have the mounting lugs on the 02J as well - there should be a pair of bolt holes on top of the unit at the end furthest from the engine.

i didnt think the o2j was a straight bolt up thought that was only the o2a ??

I don't think there's any bolt-pattern difference, but you need to make sure there are the mounts for the Golf2/3 type mounts as well as pendulum (Golf4 type) mounts.

adaptor mount arm to bolt a pendulum mount box upto mk2/3 mounts is basic fabrication
