I am assuming when you say front mech you are referring to your front derailleur.
You should be fine running a 9 speed front derailleur on an 8 speed drivetrain. It is the shifter that controls how far the derailleur moves on each click. The 9 speed derailleur cag will be just a hair narrower then the 8 speed cage, so it might be a wee bit more finicky to set up with your thicker 8 speed chain, but it won't prevent you from being able to use it.
