Thanks all!! Sorry for the delayed response, I’ve been busy with work. Here are a few engine pictures... I am search of a GM duel snorkel breather. I’ve found many camaro snorkels as well as singles, just not a duel that is a true GM part.

A big block, 4 speed, Corvette convertible with A/C that looks as great as this. I'd say congratulations on a job well done.

The air cleaner you have is correct for LS-6 engine. I would think you might be able to trade your LS-6 air cleaner to someone who wants it and might have the dual-inlet unit for L-48/LS-5 which you need. The performance of your engine might be a bit better with the open-element cleaner you have.

If you want it to be accurate to a factory build, you might want to add the lower carpet piece to the 'base' door panels you have, since the rest of your interior appears to be leather/deluxe interior option. But, your car is beautiful and you should enjoy it "as is" for a while, before you go at it.

I would keep the open-element cleaner, it looks great and shows off the chrome valve covers.
