I saw the build-up of this a few months ago. These Vanagons were originally meant to be air cooled so it's relatively easy to flow air from the "air intakes" above and forward of the engine to cool it (Beetles have the air intake in the form of the little plastic grills on the sides of the car)
He said he was going to build it up to big numbers but in the end the tires smoked from the stock power so he was happy

Evidently this is a pretty popular swap. When I went to the subie wrecking yard in Rancho Cordova, they said that a lot of the WRX engines were being purchased by VW guys to stick in the vanagons. Evidently it matches up and they just bolt right in. At least that's what the guy told me.

. Older style beetles do not have those vents, I think the vents started somewhere around 71.
