The only  reason a air cooled engine needs these is to give hot
air for the cabin in  the car. 


Mark,
 
They have other purposes as well.  Like fast warm up of the engine to  
reduce the time the chokes are closed and the mixture is so rich.  Lots of  
advantages to a faster warm up including less engine wear and less oil  
contamination.  There are probably other reasons the boxes and dampers were  part of 
the design as well.
