Different air filter assy for A/C or no A/C

(1/3) > >>

lemarin:
I'm restoring my LM1 Camaro. The car is A/C equipped and I'm trying to fit an air filter, but the snorkle is touching the A/C piping.

My question is: is there a different snorkle for A/C equipped car vs non-A/C equipped car ?

lemarin:
Here's a picture, with the snorkle interfering with the A/C

KurtS:
Can you show a pic of the whole air cleaner?
The snorkel looks too rearward.

lemarin:
Unfortunately, I don't have any other picture of it....my mechanics is about 120 miles from my home right now.

He just says on the phone, that the air filter assy is exactly the same for both, with or without A/C, except the angle of the snorkel is slightly different, pointing toward a slightly different direction.....

Anyone here is or was aware of this difference ?

z28z11:
Need a pic of the heat stove tube - should be offset to move the Therm A/C intersection to the front. I suspect it has a straight (non-original) tube on it, clocking the air cleaner too far back. No way the snorkel should point at the heater valve unless the heater valve is mounted incorrectly, too -

Check the length of the snorkel, too - should be about 14" to the best of my recollection.

Regards,
Steve
