the size shouldnt be of any concern. What is however, is the version of the OS

No they will not be interchangeable. System discs are extremely model specific. You can go into Bootcamp Assistant, print the instructions, and see if it is possible to download drivers and burn to a CD. If not you will need your Snow Leopard discs.
