Anyone know of an aftermarket air cleaner assembly that uses a conventional element ?

Anyone know of an aftermarket air cleaner assembly that uses a conventional element ? I really like the idea of replacing the big stock air box with something smaller, but the only ones I found use a BMC or K&N element and I'm not too thrilled about using them. Any input would be greatly appreciated. The car is a 79 930.
Thanks,
Dave

Rick,
Thanks for the reply. If you are talking about the AireTEK kit http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/911M/POR_911M_fuelCI_pg1.htm#item1
This uses a K&N type (rechargable) filter. I'm trying to avoid that and use a conventional element. Please let me know if I looked in the wrong place.
thanks,
Dave

No try, jm-ab-0033. Remember it's just a cover. See what you think.

That actually looks like a very nice piece but the turbos have a different design, one that does not have an airbox. I have attached a picture of the piece I'm looking to replace. It is the assembly on the right.
Thanks,
Dave

There's a small round fabric element sold in excellence that I had on a 930. It sits directly over the CIS plate. It really cleans up the engine compartment, but I went with one of the power "inhaler" thingies from Zucz at the time. It too turned out to be a POS, it cracked.
