Correct. '71 car won't use this. The factory issued a bulletin way back when regarding the 72-73 heat to the intake setup (through the extra heat exchanger on the rear of the heater box that fed a theromstatic flapper box attached to the intake air box) suggesting it be removed due to the possibility of debris being sucked through the system. Roger Grago confirmed this rumour but couldn't lay his hands on the factory bulletin.
So, the 69, 70 and 71 cars are without something that proved to be a potential problem anyway. Your life just made easier.
