There are a couple of ways to approach this. Either way you should 
buy this book:

How to Hotrod Volkswagen Engines
by Bill Fisher
published by H. P. Books, Tucson, AZ, 1970
ISBN 0-912656-03-4
(excellent book, well written and researched)

This has good explanations and drawings of how/where the fitting 
must go in the case. If you do it yourself you can use this as a 
guide. If your case is apart and needs case savers or an align bore 
then I strongly recommend that you just ship it to RIMCO and let 
them do it. They are really quite cheap for what you get, and they 
do a good job.

The book does NOT cover what you need to do to get the plumbing 
to clear in front of the fan housing. Suffice it to say that you do 
NOT have to modify the fan housing at all if you use the right 
combination of 3 street elbows.

The Fisher book is FULL of lots of good stuff that is well 
researched and well explained. It's still in print and no one who 
thinks they would like to do a particularly good job on an engine 
rebuild should be without it.
