I have some MK1 Scirocco data:

1975 Scirocco (carbed,no A/C)  64/36
1976.5 Scirocco (FI, no/ac)  61/39
1978 Scirocco (no A/C) 62/38
1979 Scirocco "LE" (5spd, A/C) 65/35

I hope this gives you a feel. 1975-1978 were 4spd
(5spd came out in '79). Add A/c, the # changes. I'll
dig up some MK2 figs if I get a chance.
