       I just checked with ETKA and the air intake system is the same for all 
Vanagons from 1986 to 1992.  Yes, ETKA is showing a 1992 model Vanagon.  If 
you do not have these parts then someone has removed them is my opinion.  I'm 
not swearing by this as we all know they made these vehicles one by one while 
drinking way too much German brew.  Maybe I should go there and apply for a 
position !  Just a good thought for Monday morning.
