Actually, the vanagon(content) coolant is cooled by air. The engine is cooled by the air-cooled coolant. :)

No. All cars are cooled by air. In a water cooled it's the air moving through the radiator. The water pump just moves the heat from one place to another. The radiator also has a fan that uses horsepower, or presents aerodynamic drag as moving air flows through it. The aircooled doesn't move the heat from one place to another so doesn't use the energy of the water pump.
