Because it has no heater outlets, you give up cabin heat unless you add your own ducting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWill it fit my 1968 Beetle with the original oil cooler?\u003c\/b\u003e Not as-is. Pre-1971 engines use the smaller cooler inside the shroud. To run a doghouse shroud you also need a doghouse oil cooler with its adapter, the wider doghouse fan and the matching tin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat does 'no heater ducts' mean?\u003c\/b\u003e There are no outlets on the sides of the shroud for the heater hoses.
