Just make sure the coolant is going through the radiator in the correct
direction.
I.e. one pipe is 'feed to the radiator' the other is 'return to the
engine' ..
Bentley shows you which is which.
'the rule' at the radiator about which is which 'down and out' ...
the bottom connection sends coolant back to the engine.

It always helps if people say what year and version of vanagon they are
asking questions about.
Looks like it was an 83 waterboxer to me.

I thought this type engine conversion was a no-brainer and eeverything
just bolts right up from the kit.
