My '89 1.6 NA Jetta can barely get out of its own way with the AC on.  I
wouldn't  bother trying it in a Vanagon.  The turbo gets you a few more hp,
but its not much good from a dead stop.

Subject:    Diesel Vanagon Questions

Has anyone tried installing AC on a 1.6 diesel vanagon? How about with a
turbo from a Jetta. Logic tells me that the "High Torque" VW diesel engine
should find it easy to run the AC. With a turbo added I could see some
cooling issues but, with all the heavey duty coolers on the market, why
wouldn't this work.
