Bandit, If the air cleaner in your pics was what was stolen, then it is OK. Based on what I can see from the pics, it was a repro. You can see the pics I took here to spot an original vs a repro.

A lot of good information on that thread.

Just to add from what I've seen,the original ZL-2 Air cleaners have a small notch cut out on the right hand snorkle seam.It comes into play in the center of the seam.
It's about a 5/8 inch long,& 1/16th deep.The repro is one continuos seam.
Also I don't know if your Camaro thread meant this,but I have not seen a difference between a 1970 Chevelle Manual trans ZL-2 air cleaner,& an Auto trans.
Good thread!

Yes, the one you posted pics of is definitely a repro, you can see this by the lack of the large "stepped" flange where the snorkel attaches... a true 69 one has a smooth bottom. And while we're picking nits, that's a fan shroud decal on the air cleaner, it should have either a factory style 427 crossed flag decal or nothing at all from the originals I've seen.
