I only have a mk2 haynes, so from there:
1.6 is an EW or FR engine code,
EW has a 2E2
FR has a 2B5
There're pics of each in the Haynes.
If you're going to change for a Weber, I'm under the impression it'll be a 32/34 DMTL for either, but jetted to suit.
Of course, it being a mk1, that could all be irrelevant!

You may find the carb on the earlier Sciroccos are made by Solex, someone maybe will confirm this.

Your 1979 Scirocco 1.6 should have the Pierburg 2B5 fitted to it using a semi-automatic choke.
The identification and model number of the carburettor is usually stamped into the side of the lower half of the carb casting and will probably be facing the offside of the car.
