Need help finding a part

When I got my Z06, it had an intake on it which I cant identify.

I've got the Vararam intake waiting to go; I just need a couple parts from the stock airbox (which I dont have) and cant find them anywhere online.

Heres a diagram on the secondary air system. Those of you who have swapped out intakes should be very familiar with the part I'm looking for.

The part I need is #8 and #7.

Whatever intake is on there now does not have a hookup for the secondary air system, and the hose is zip tied with some sort of small filter box attached to the end.

It works fine, I did get a code from the system but it turned out to be a stuck valve. A little WD40 and a light blowing into the tube fixed it right up.

However, the Vararam box has a hole for this system. I could plug the hole in the vararam box and leave the air system as is, but I would really prefer to have it in the correct place. Any ideas where to find the part? I talked to a couple dealerships, apparently they've been discontinued.

They claimed the parts I'm looking for have been discontinued, they could only order me the hoses which I dont need.

It seems the grommet is no longer available through GM but the 90* plastic fitting is.

The fitting carries GM part number 1263193 (yes, I double checked since I thought the part number was too short and missing a digit). One source I found shows it for $3.xx.

The old number for the discontinued grommet is 25098174. Dorman probably makes or one very close to it that will work OK. Check the HELP section (Motormite) in your AP stores. Dorman and/or Motormite makes a ton of grommets of all shapes and sizes.

Check with some of the Corvette parts sellers selling used parts. You can go over to C5 Parts section and see that there are usually several people parting out Corvettes on a regular basis and I'll bet these items are regularly thrown away by guys ripping out anything to do with emissions OR are stripping down a for a track car.
