This picture, of a 1980~83 VW 1600 Vanagon, CT-series, air-cooled engine, installed in a British specification, 1974 VW 1800 Type 2 campervan, was originally featured in:
David Eccles, "Peaches & Dream", Volkswagen Camper & Commercial, Issue 5, Winter 2001, pages 6~9.
Note that the photograph has been incorrectly printed, with the left & right-hand sides transposed, which to those knowledgeable about 1973~79 VW Type 2s, would be obvious, from the apparent shape of the engine-bay perimeter and the postions of the spare-wheel well and computer-diagnostics socket!
A corrected, mirror-image version of this, may be seen on Photobucket, at the following link:

Also note, the following interesting features:
Engine cooling-fan housing, similar in concept, to the VW Type 3 & 4 engines.
The heating & demisting system booster fan (directly driven by the alternator shaft), independent of the engine-cooling fan, whose inlet could be be connected via a flexible duct, to the passenger compartment, in order to recirculate warm air, through the exhaust heat exchangers.
Single, central carburettor, with an inlet-manifold, exhaust pre-heating facility, identical in concept to that of the VW Type 1 engines.
The inlet manifold, beneath the carburettor, of the later water-cooled flat-four engines, with single carburettor, instead features a self-regulating, electrically-heated "hedgehog".
The specific link to the Volkswagen Audi Gevaert on-line catalogue page, for the 1980~83 VW 1600 type 25 (i.e. T3 or Vanagon) inlet manifold, with exhaust-gas preheater pipe connections (described on the website as: SUCTION PIPE / INTAKE CONNECTION / 1.6ltr. / CT,CZ ), is as follows, but note that in order to view it, one must log into the website, as a registered user:
