Default aircleaner

My question is in regards to the differences in aircleaners on a 1978 corvette. What I mean to ask is how do I make a L82 duel snorkel aircleaner work on my L48 engine? I have the air intake parts that go over the radiator, what to I need for the side intake, and can anyone show me a photo?

i believe you can use the parts from a 79. for the dual air snorkel [IMG][/IMG] i can email you a pic. cant figure out how to post pics here yet.
parts you'll need. the big plastic air intake that goes over the radiator shroud. the flexible duct attaches from the oval part on the intake to the front air snorkle. there is a square bent plastic air duct that slips over the square downward facing area of the shroud. this duct has two screws that screw it to the inside lip of the left fender. there is a flexible duct with that attaches this square duct to the snorkel that points to the left. is this clear?
