So, there shouldn't be an issue.
2200 has larger
intake ports, but smaller exhaust ports, so the manifold would probably be a restriction. Aftermarket headers are the same for both motors (unfortunately), but the stockers should be significantly different.
I would just hit up the junkyard for another 2.2L manifold, they wouldn't charge more than $10...

The 2200 exaust ports on the header are smaller and the 2.2. You can put it on, but might feel a little loss in power.
