Hi Marc,
I replaced the sending unit in my '76 camper bulli a little while ago. 
Fortunately the hole in the floor plate was already cut by some previous 
owner. I own the original VW Repair Manual for Type 2's, in which I found 
a nice drawing incl. dimensions where to cut the hole and how to do it.
If you email me your mailing adress, I would make copies and send them to 
you.
The replacement of the sending unit is quite simple.
