hey -

i too have a '90 westy. i bought a deep cycle optima and installed per the
instructions on the vanagon.com site (listed below). one addendum to these
instructions, however... you'll need to cut back the flap under the seat
and mount the battery on it's side with side terminals on top and battery
facing forward.

let me know if you have any specific questions, i even took pictures of my
proceses throughout. once you get passed cutting the flap away you should
have no problems.
