Dave,
My '74 has two hoses instead of one, maybe that was a mid '74 change? Of course that doesn't mean that a PO hadn't made that modification and it came from the factory with only one...

Just be careful. If anything siezes up you may have an extra and unwanted hole in your engine case. Not that it ever happened to one of my Sciroccos when I was younger or anything.
