The diff pattern is different you need the supra propshaft one to cut and combine to the soarer one... Pedal box from the supra will work fine (supra MKIV)...
some minor things to do ...

And the fact that the 6sp box doesn't fit in the tranny tunnel. The top of the tunnel has to be cut off and either a supra one installed or some custom metal work done.

There is only a small difference in the ratios between the 160 -> 161. Not enough to run the stock diff efficiently. Jza80 clutch pedal fits, brake also if you swap the whole assembly. However its easier to just buy a jzz30 manual brake arm, and swap that in. As you mentioned above you have to buy the transmission cover ( floor panel) to allow the getrag to fit.

The n/a JZA80s fitted with the V161 ran a 3.77 diff, the V8 Soarer is 3.92, and the TT Soarer is 4.08
Now im not sure if its as simple as this in practice, but the ratio difference between JZA80 and V8 Soarer is numerically the same (slightly less even) than the difference between V8 Soarer and TT Soarer, and as we know there are no issues with doing that swap
So what im saying is a stock V8 diff would be ok with the V161?
Even if its not, it wouldnt be too hard to get a 3.77 diff out of a JZA80 or JZS147 and bolt it straight in or just swap the CW&P
