[Vwdiesel] Help with ID of an engine

[Val Christian]

I don't know what the color schemes were, but all of my earlier 
VW diesels were green blocks.  They would be predominantly 1.5 
NA engines in Rabbits.  I'm not familiar with that compressor 
mounting, and I have had units with VW aftermarket AC.  On the 
early models AC was not available as a factory option, but
as far as I know it was always mounted on the IP side of the
engine.  (Some mounts worked better than others.)
