Around 1978-1979 my buddy and co-worker was running C/SM with his '69 Camaro. WCS race or maybe the SummerNat's It had a front spoiler but not the rear. He was told it had to have both or none by a guy we knew as Joe Tech. He was told by another Tech man at the top end after a run it was no problem....
Next time he went up to make a run....Joe Tech told him again to get the front spoiler off the car....Pretty ridiculous but not unusual for that guy....
I ran my '69 Camaro in SS/JA with the cowl hood....and a rear spoiler but no front spoiler and it was a 350/255......Just about every '69 out there had the cowl hood on it back then(1980-1982)......No one ever said a word to me about the hood or the rear spoiler and lack of one in front....

I worked with Joe D......I mean Joe Tech for a couple of years when he was with IHRA and found him to be a complete a** !
