Looking through the various threads here, Armandos, and in the Originality and History Forum, I can't seem tofind a definitive answer to a question regarding heating.

It seems as though the early /6's didn't have a fan to push air into the cabin, and relied on the engine fan for this, while the later /6's had fans similar to the /4's.

Can anyone clarify this, and, as an additional question, is the air pushed by the engine fan sufficient for heating, or should one install the block-off plates and proceed with the electric fan option?

First I've heard of this. Can you post a reference that leads you to believe this?
I have never had too little air in a 914/6. I've had too little heat in the air on frosty mornings, but this is a factor in any air-cooled car - no load, no heat.

I can't imagine needing more air.
