Toby, the standard Type 3 heat exchangers are BETTER than the Type 1 (apart from being longer and with the right outlet pipe size, and all OE quality). They work well, particularly in the Fastback or Notch with their smaller internal air volume. As there are thermostats in the unit that joins the rear bulkhead, I guess if you want a higher temperature you could try disabling the cold-air feed, but that might damage the plastic parts inside the car. I guess if you only had Type 1 available, it would be possible to extend the outlet exhaust pipe, and link the heat outlet somehow. Dave.
