Why do you think so?

This engine does not have a mechanical fuel pump or distributor drive, but those could be possible problems for others who are dry sumping with those parts in place.

Again, why do you think this is the case?

I know a type 1 with additional sump will run considerably hotter (no exact data) when ran with an oil level upto about the original oil pick up vs. stock configuration.

That seems very odd? again I don't understand this or heard of anybody with the same problem

I am also leaning towards wet sump in this case. This is a non track driven Bus.

I agree on the latter tho
I don't see the 'need' for DS in his application either.
In general, I think you 'overthink' the whole thing too much. From others experience, the DS - even with that pump - works very well as is imho ;-)
Best of luck with the build,
