Default 1980 replace air dam

I need to replace my 1980 air dam. Should this one just bolt right on? Thank you and Happy New Year!

That is a correct air deflector for 80-82 if that's what your needing, there is also a black rubber air dam that runs under that along the entire front end.

Test fit and paint it before you install it. It should bolt right in.

I have a 1981,and that’s not the correct piece,I had to remove mine,because I replaced my heads and intake,then this wouldn’t fit,so had to go with a thinner breather to close hood,but if it’s like mine,you have to pieces top and side,with two duct pieces connecting to air breather,I took mine off two years ago,will try and find them,take a picture for you.
