My guess is that the 70 doors will not fit the 66, my guess is that all the associated hardware will be off. A suggestion would be to look on thesamba.com classified section - I see 66 doors for sale on there all the time - good luck!

Chugnut - Here is a link to a 66 door on ebay - he says it fits 52 - 66 (came from a 64 beetle):
