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 heavier an air cooled car engine or a water cooled car engine?

The water cooled engine will typically be heavier, because you have to add in the water pump, the radiator and the water/coolant. The engine block itself may be lighter as there are passages drilled out for the water/coolant to flow through.
