1970 442 Steel Hood AC and Non AC

The 1970 Steel 442 hood was different on the factory air cars compared to the non air cars. If I remember, the difference was that one hood had fresh air intakes by the cowl and the other hood did not have the fresh air intakes?
Which steel hood came from the factory for AC cars and which steel hood came from the factory for non AC cars?

Thank you in advance.

You are thinking of the 1972 hoods. There are only two metal hoods used for the 1970 model year, the "flat" hood used on Supremes, F-85s, wagons, and more-doors, and the "double hump" hood used on the 2dr Cutlass S and 442 models.Both have the vents at the base of the windshield.
