An easier way to accomplish this is to define the environment Schunk
to create a minipage.  If you check the .tex file generated from an
Sweave file you will find that it encloses the input and output chunks
in

\begin{Schunk}
\begin{Sinput}
...
\end{Sinput}
\begin{Soutput}
...
\end{Soutput}
\end{Schunk}

and you can redefine the actions of those environments.
