1985 only air cleaner (swapping out the ARV turbo)

I normally wouldn't post this here, but a month or so ago someone PM'd me and asked for a 1985 only air cleaner housing (the kind that takes the normal air cleaner vs the CA canister style that sits behind the headlight). I didn't have one and hadn't heard of a difference, but now that I've found one I know the difference, and I don't know who was asking for it.

For reference, when converting a 1985 to the earlier (non-ARV) style turbo, you need to swap the turbo compressor outer housing. This can be done easily without removing the turbo itself. Then you'll need a pre-1985 air cleaner housing. If you don't swap the air cleaner housing, the U-shaped snorkel from the air cleaner housing to the turbo inlet will be about 2" too short.
