The FI engines used one of those holes for something else, and I have seen 
pictures of the coil on the right, too. The latter makes no sense to me since 
that side is already pretty crowded. I suspect that the left tin mounting would 
work well with the single carbs, but I don't know for a fact that this was ever 
done.

If it wasn't done, you gotta wonder why VW kept those weld nuts in place all 
those years.
