Default AIR Tube Question

I need a passenger side AIR tube for my 1980 L48 corvette. My question is:

If I go to a junk yard, what cars and model years could I look at to see if I can find one?

I assume that there are other chevy cars that have 350 motors and similar exhaust manifolds that I can look at to see if I can salvage an AIR tube from, just not sure what cars and model years.

Thanks,
TTERZ

Salvage yards subscribe to interchange guides which tell them what similar model parts fit which cars. Call around your local yards, tell them what you need and let them tell you if they have the part. Be certain to bring a propane torch if you will pull the tube yourself... they can be a bear to remove without damaging the nuts without heating them first.
