D&D General What D&D Would You Use For A Dungeon Focused Campaign?

I am interested what you think in 2E mechanically is too story forward for dungeon crawling.

One thing that comes to mind is the Kits in the Complete books. It was the main reason were I to run a 2E dungeon crawl that I'd do it without the splats/Complete books.

Give the original Caves of Chaos a try, using the 2014 monster manual stat blocks instead of the AD&D ones. It is quite literally what the system was built for.

The 12 kobold snipers in the tree outside Cave A are all extremely excited about the action economy.

2E can do it but you would need some optional rules for gp=xp.
