Default "80" AIM vs. "81"

I recently ordered and received an AIM for my "80". When it arrive it had an 80 cover but the page indicate it was for an 81. Is there any significant difference from 80 to 81?

Which page indicates 81? The biggest change for 1981 was the computer and the fiberglass rear spring. The fiberglass rear spring is not in the 1980 AIM while the computer section in the 80 AIM specifies the LG-4 engine. The VIN format also changed for 1981.

All the pages show "81" at the bottom of the page.
