You will find many problems trying to do that. The car is canbus equipped which means that the electronics of the car are centrally controlled by a computer (BSI). If you have "serious electric damage" even if you get the engine to work, then the other systems (lights, wipers etc:) probably won't work, so getting the engine in would probably be the easiest bit. Getting everything to work afterwards would be a completely different matter.

For instance, a few of the many problems you would encounter-
The 206CC has an electronic throttle pedal- the 205 uses a cable operated pedal.
The clutch pedal is hydraulic on the 206, but cable on the 205.
The instrument binnacle is controlled by the BSI on a 206, but direct on 205 so temp, fuel, speedo and rev counter would not work.
Lastly the roof operation is also intergrated to the BSI and takes signals from speed sensors to prevent operation at speeds above 5mph. This is incompatible with the systems on the 205, so the roof probably wouldn't work.
