As I recall, the oil pump is under a square cover just below the crankshaft pulley. It may be accessible without removing the engine from the car. You can; I've done it myself. You need: new oil pump, which should come with gaskets ratchet and 13mm, 21mm and 30mm sockets oil pump puller flat-tip screwdriver RTV gasket maker wheel chocks piece of glass--a 4x5 picture frame is good for this feeler gauges fresh oil, and an oil filter if you got a filter pump Remove the generator pulley nut, so you can get the belt off Drain the oil. Chock the wheels, put the car in gear, set the parking brake and remove the crank pulley bolt Remove the back piece of tin, then the tin under the crank pulley Remove the cover from the oil pump, then remove the gears. Be sure to remember which way the pump is in there--the new one has to go in the same way or it won't work. Use the puller to remove the pump case from the engine. Clean the mating surfaces to remove all specks of the old gasket. Use brake cleaner to get all the oil off. Lay the cover on the glass, and draw feeler gauges between the cover and the glass to see if the cover is flat. If it's warped, you need a new one. (If you're installing a pump with an oil filter fitting on it, skip this step.) Put a little dab of RTV on both sides of a gasket, and slip the gasket over the studs. Slip the oil pump body over the studs. Push it almost but not quite all the way on. Look at the two gears. One has a shaft, the other has a hole in the middle. They only go in one way. Put the shaft one in first. Stick it in and turn it until it drops into the slot in the end of the cam--you'll feel this happening. If it doesn't happen, you got the pump body in upside down and will need to turn it around. Put the other gear over the shaft in the oil pump body. Apply a little RTV to another gasket and slip it over the studs, then put the cover on and bolt it on. If you've got a torque wrench, 25 lb-ft should be plenty. If you got a filter pump, install an oil filter on it. Then put the sheetmetal back, reinstall the crank pulley (at least 90 lb-ft--they tighten up, though) and the belt, and fill the engine with oil.
NEW INFO: If you got a filter pump, then you may not be able to put the tin back on.
Also, when you take off your oil pump look inside the engine to see what kind of camshaft you have. Is it flat with 3 rivets or bolts and just a small hole in the center of the cam gear? If it is, then you have an early style camshaft and need to get an early style pump. If the cam gear is dished out and has 4 rivets or bolts then you have a late style camshaft and need a late style pump. If you put an early style pump in an engine with a late style camshaft, then the oil pump will not reach the camshaft, will not turn, and your engine will very quickly DIE! Also, I would NOT use RTV on the gaskets. The gaskets are a very specific thickness to provide the proper tolerance between the pump gears and the cover plate. Using RTV adds thickness to the gaskets and increases the distance between the pump gears and the cover plate and can drastically reduce oil pressure. EARLY type is up to 1970, LATE type is 1971 and later. It is VERY possible that an EARLY style pump and cam is in a LATE model VW. Most aftermarket cams are EARLY style and use 3 bolts to attach the gear to the camshaft. Don't forget to add new oil when you're done!

Drop the oil pan, then it's just a couple bolts to remove the old oil pump. Just a word of caution though, if the engine has low oil pressure it's almost certainly not the fault of the oil pump; usually it's worn main and/or rod bearings.
