You might get a few different responses you might like to add why you are changing and what you call normal. I used a pancake style with no probs on a
Baja for years. They prefer to have a spacer Inbeteeen carb and air cleaner but I did. Have one. Good luck

If your engine is standard you are better of use the oil bath air cleaner, it is disigned to work with the carb that you have.

You will find the ones to suit beetles in most VW parts shops and very inexpensive....
there are two types...
mesh around the sides with chromed top and bottom or
chromed top with louvres around the sides so water can't get in

I now prefer the oil bath air cleaner...
those chromed air cleaners come with foam filters but I believe You can get paper elements to replace those..

Better off with a stock 74-76 paper element filter if you don't want to stick with an oil bath.
Those chrome pancake filters are absolute junk yet everyone runs them cos they look pretty and people *think* they are a performance item.
They come with a crappy foam element that is supposed to be oiled but noone ever does.
I did find a OEM paper element that fit inside them.
