The other problem is a bit more sticky.  The boost enrichment aneroid on
top of the TD fuel pump is a few inches too tall and interferes with the
engine lid on a Vanagon.

For my conversion, I just cut out one of the ribs in the metal engine cover
and flattened the ridge in the cover with a hammer.  The boost enrichment
aneroid fit underneath and did not touch the lid.  The lid remained flat.
It's close fit, but it worked.   Regarding the oil return line, I just
installed a fitting on the oil pan at or just above the oil level.  Never
had any problems with drainage.
That was 10 years ago so I don't remember anything else.
