Can the engine be removed from a Classic Roadsters Dutchess as it would be removed from the original 1969 Type 1 VW?

Generally yes. But you’ll find the rear apron likely gets in the way of shifting the brine back to disengage from the transaxle.
I solved that by cutting the apron back to match the “outline” of the crankshaft pulley.
Other than that, same process.

Thanks Paul. Brine was a bit confusing but I assumed you meant en-gine.
What about just removing the crankshaft pulley?
Yes, removing the crank pulley should give you enough room. Was easier for me to shape the fiberglass panel.
