Even a simple Google search would reveal the following:
Mozart K.622 - written in 1791
Weber Concerto #1 - written in 1811

I did the search, but based on the evidence are they contrasting enough????

Basically, are you asking, "would they qualify as pieces that are different enough to be 'contrasting' for an audition?"
If that's what you're looking for, I'd say no.
I'd go for something much more contrasting to pair with either one of them, possibly:
Rozsa Sonatina
Bernstein Sonata
Those are just a couple of ideas I can think of off the top of my head that would be a stronger contrast.

The short answer -
Mozart K622 is a piece which was written in the Classical period of music (1750 - the early 1800's)
Weber #1, written in 1811 is considered a late Classical or very early Romantic era work.
Thus, stylistically, it would not be contrasting enough to the Mozart Concerto.
Look for a work written after 1900, as that will demonstate different melodic, harmonic and technical demands...GBK

GBK,
Why do I get the feeling we're either serving as audition coaches, or music history textbooks?
*wry grin*
Oh, did someone say rye? Yes, I'll take a Reuben - thank you!

If it's for a competitive audition/contest, when the powers high up ask for "contrast", they are likely looking for wide ranging ability in music that goes beyond what the 20 years b/t Mozart and Weber offer. You might be able to get by through presenting perhaps the Adagio of the Mozart coupled with the finale of the Weber, but it's a safer choice to pick a work of something written later on.
