What kind of engine does a VW type 2 second generation bus use?
From 1972 to 1979 the VW micro bus uses a type IV "Pancake" version of the air cooled flat four motor. Pre 1972 VW buses use the upright air cooled motor identical to the versions used in the VW Beetle's of the era. VW then experimented with a water cooled version of the flat four engine(Wasserboxer), this lasted a few short years and VW moved all vehicles to their water cooled inline and similar standard engines.

Is an air cooled car lighter or heavier than a water cooled car engine?
An air cooled car will be lighter. The air cooled engine has a single thin walled engine block for air cooling just like an air cooled motorcycle or early VW Beetle. There is no antifreeze, radiator, water pump, hoses, etc, that a water cooled car would have. The water cooled engines have two walls (an inner wall for the pistons, etc, and the outer wall to hold the water) to help carry the water around the hot spots of the motor so you have twice the metal plus the weight of the water, etc. There's probably 200lbs to 300lbs savings.
What is a Vw aircooled engine?
An engine that is cooled by air, not by water, and that powers a VW. Engines produce heat. So much heat that it must be removed from the engine or it will cause damage. Most car engines heat up water that is pumped through the empty spaces in the engine block; the heated water (and antifreeze, a.k.a. coolant) is then pumped through the radiator where ambient air is drawn through by a fan. Since outside air is cooler, the water cools off. When the cooled water re-enters the engine, it cools the engine. In a VW air-cooled engine, the outside air is simply blown over the engine itself. The engine has fins to help dissipate heat, like many motorcycle engines to. Aircooled VW engines also have oil coolers.
