In the overall scheme  of Westy / Vanagon storage the tools required can
be carried in the compartment under the drivers seat with plenty of room
for your spare parts.
I carry a set of 7mm-19mm combination wrenches, a 3/8 drive socket set
with 7mm-19mm shallow sockets and about three screwdrivers, a tri square
CV bolt tool that fits the 3/8" drive ratchet. It doesn't hurt to carry a
few extensions and a small set of 1/4" sockets for tight places.
In an emergency there are always the 'I wish I had' cases but in eight
years of running my air cooled over 150K the only parts and tools ever
required on the road were to remove the valve covers and adjust the idle.
The most important thing that I carry is enough oil for an oil change and
a spare fan belt.
