Default Pontiac Firebird Formula hood, RAIV?

Last week I bought a little "fixerupper" house in Oklahoma. While estimating how much junk needed to be hauled out of the garage, I stumbled (literally) across a small cache of Pontiac parts. One of the items was a factory Firebird "Formula" hood, that much I know. The hood has all the provisions for a cold air induction system, complete with openings on the underside of the hood that would match the foam carb-to-hood gaskets on older Firebirds. I'm not a Pontiac expert, but I'm wondering if this was some type of RAM AIR III or IV piece. The ducting from the carb, and out to the 2 "intakes" at the very end of the hood, is all there (moulded into the hood), along with screens that are built into the openings. Where the two scoops terminate at the front of the hood they are moulded shut, but directly underneath the fake scoop openings, are real openings. When the hood is installed, these openings would be facing down, and would be ahead of the radiator, which would allow for cold air induction. Does anybody know what I found?
