Default 1971 Ignition Shielding

Does anyone know the correct Ignition shielding pieces for the 1971 (350)coupe. It seems that from 1970 to 1971 the front outer spark plug chrome shielding pieces were not used (only the rear ones)? Is this correct, or am I looking in the wrong vette catalog?

You are correct, the foward (front) shields were not used in 71.

Jerry is correct the front 2 ignition shields were dicontinued about half way thu the 1970 production run. However I though I would point out that there are metal heat shields above all 8 spark plugs to protect the spark plug wires.
