I thought that Chevy stopped using the Open Element Air Cleaner on all 1970 model cars EXCEPT the Corvette in an effort to cut back on noise levels which was a mandate by the EPA.

1970 Camaro L34 had an open element AC. Nova also I believe.

That dual snorkel air cleaner is awesome looking on the White 14K mile all original LS6 car, but I could be a little bias.
