Default 1970 dual snorkel air cleaner

Any 1970 l78 with turbo 400 experts out there.Should a 396 375 l78 with a build date of November 1969 and a turbo 400 have a dual snorkel air cleaner or an open element air cleaner with a vent tube pointed towards the distributor?Any help would be appreciated.The car currently has an open air cleaner with a vent tube that a previous owner sawed off.thanks bob

Whether it's a Nova,Camaro or Chevelle,and assuming it doesn't have Cowl Induction on the later two,I think an open element is correct.

It's my opinion that ALL the 1970 Camaros came with the one year only dual snorkel............starting 3rd week of Jan build (do you have trim tag showing earlier???)
