Yes that's the remnants of an air conditioner, that's the condensor.
As to the air filter question there should be 2 hose fittings on it, one for the crankcase breather and one for the fuel tank vent (#28 here):
And you could indeed have a 2 liter engine, many foreign markets got carbs instead of fuel injection on thier 2L's until the late 80's.

The oil pressure sender (for the OP light) is located in front of the distributor as you know.
You can either 1) enlarge the hole in the tinwork to install a VDO "di-pole sender" that will give you the OP light and the gauge, or 2) you can put an 18 inch "extension" at the stock OP location and mount the di-pole sender on the firewall.
I did #2 and used this little gizmo, but the hose they give you is only 12 inches long so I used an 18 incl long grease gun hose that I bought from the local auto parts store. The threads in the case for the stock OP sender are 10mm x 1.0mm so keep that in mind or it will leak oil. The sender has to be well grounded to work right so no teflon tape is used.

No, not at all, some develop head problems but overheating is never an issue.
They do develop oil pump problems, alot of the damage you describe sounds like oil starvation.
As for the sender yes it clears the distributor although it's hard to access if you ever need to remove it without removing the tin first, the flex hose setup makes maintenance very easy.

Busdaddy, my engine have only 2 months for use and overheated and had to repair it completely, the axial metal pressed on the crankshaft, and pistons melted!, still do not understand why happened? ...I have repaired many vw type 1 engine perfectly, but this is my first type 4, have any idea why it happen?.... Now be installing temperature gauges and new oil pump for sure....for your experience, do you think has influenced automatic transmission? or particular thing or another of these engines? |

What is more common is when the split main bearing is actually too large and it holds the case "open" when it is freshly torqued down.
As the engine wears, the split main bearing grinds itself "smaller",t he case will close up but then the case through bolt torque values are too loose.
You need to handfit that split main (by gently rubbing the top of it with the red polishing stone) so that it no longer holds the case open. |

He's basically saying the bearings don't always fit correctly. Sometimes you have to measure them and make them fit.
Parts Quality is not as good as it used to be.
