Yes, it's the tops of the heater boxes that hit the front seal lip.
It's only a slight hassle when installing or removing the engine. You
don't need to remove them to install the engine. Just a bit of extra
wiggling does the trick just fine. Some universal replacement boxes
also have the outboard levers for type 3 use, and it's best to cut those
off, as they really get in the way.

Thanks for this tidbit of info Lloyd. I guess it behooves me to make
sure that I use plenty of anti-seize if I'm going to remove and
install the exhaust system while it is in the bug. Does anyone know
why it is or where it is exactly that causes a later model 1600 engine
to hang-up in the engine bay of pre-1600 engines?
