Under the generator pedestal.

which is also above the Crankshaft pulley with the fan belt
or below the generator pulley with belt...

what model car do You have?

To top that off, vw machined many engine numbers off cases that didnt come out in vehicles. So you could be looking at a nice smooth shiney machined surface instead of the number.
Most carbie kits do a variety of standard carbs anyway.
