Mike & Jeremy are both correct (to the best of my recollection) - it really is more determined by the engine combo that is used.

When you mix & match bodies and engine combos in SS/GT you have several possible scenarios

You can have a body (like a late model firebird) that came with a ram-air hood.... matched with an engine combo that "was not" available with any sort of scoop or fresh air system. In this case, the fresh air system is supposed to be blocked off.

Again you can have a body (like a late model firebird) that came with a ram-air hood.... matched with an engine combo that "was" available with a hood scoop or fresh air system. In this case, the fresh air system could be left open.

Obviously when a body that was not available or produced with any type of ram air system is used it doesn't come into play, regardless of whether or not you use an engine that did have a fresh air system, you can't add anything to the car, you are stuck with what you've got.

Hope that helps

Mike good to see your still at it.... hope all is well
