Whether it's a Nova,Camaro or Chevelle,and assuming it doesn't have Cowl Induction on the later two,I think an open element is correct.

It's my opinion that ALL the 1970 Camaros came with the one year only dual snorkel............starting 3rd week of Jan build (do you have trim tag showing earlier???)

I think all L78 Novas had the open element air cleaner.
I believe the Camaro and chevelle lines were the only ones to use snorkels on L78. The (camaro style) snorkel aircleaner was used in Nova copo and yenko LT-1 applications...probably because the engines were pulled from the Camaro engine stock.

'70 L78 Novas could also receive the dual 'long' snorkel air cleaner, the short snorkel a/c was COPO Nova only.
