its is similar to the process on a Dodge Caravan. It comes out the drivers side wheel well... . Theres a shoppe in conwat NH that is pretty decent about advice. The name is Importech North Conway NH. They can tell you better.
You can't it is a closed system and it needs to be done by a professional.
Yes, but you have to remove the automatic transmission housing, and you have to replace the Torque Converter with a standard transmission clutch that matches the type of transmission with which you are mating the engine.
There is no drive shaft to speak of in a Beetle. The Axle is part of the Transmission so the engine bolts directly to the transmission/axle. I don't know if you can tow an Automatic. It's ok to tow a manual bug. Just make sure it's out of gear.
any engine carburated i would go with the 1600
Checking and adding Tranny fluid.There is a dipstick for the transmission fluid on all automatic transmissions, which is separate from the engine oil dipstick. The tube the dipstick sits in is the only place where fluid can be added. You will probably need the funnel with the really long, skinny neck, to be able to get the fluid into the tube. Be careful not to overfill the transmission, and be sure that you have the right kind of transmission fluid. The automatic transmission fluid level should be checked with the engine running, the transmission in Park or Neutral, and on a level surface. DO NOT PUT ENGINE OIL IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION!
That would be a 4L80E automatic transmission.
It is easier to remove the engine separately. The torque converter bolts must be removed to separate.

No, a Volkswagen Beetle with an automatic transmission cannot be towed four wheels down (flat towing) without risking damage to the transmission. Towing in this manner can cause the transmission to overheat and fail, as it relies on engine power for lubrication. If you need to tow a Beetle, it’s best to use a tow dolly or trailer. Always consult the owner’s manual for specific towing recommendations.

It's in front of the engine, which is in the back of the car.
