The plastic air scoop thingy on 73-74 Nova is a different design than this one. I can upload a picture if anyone wants to see what it looks like.

Upload away. I'm interested.

Both the strip and the scoop thingy are difficult items to find, we are always checking the yards for them - most are gone or damaged.

Here is a picture of the air deflector for a 73-74 Nova with air-conditioning.

I have heard, in the past, that, while in the AIM, the Camaro one never existed. Can anyone confirm?

This makes good sense. I figured it was an A/C only item. What exactly is the "special roll pan" I have a portion of the forward crossmember that does not look correct, any pics?

Thanks guys for the input.

Here is the pan that came on A/C equiped Novas. It was made out of some sort of plastic material.



69 Camaros with air had something similar.

Was this a 69 only piece? My 72 Nova is a pretty much untouched air car, but I don't remember seeing this on it. I'll have to check when I get home. I know it has the rubber seal on the front of the engine bay.

WOW! So that's what they are supposed to look like?
That looks perfect.
