I have two of those 1980 two-doors sitting out in the field of dreams. I guess I should actually do something with them one of these days... :-\

I believe the 80s didn't come with them. They started using the coolant heated manifold in 81.

Yup. 80 was cast-iron exhaust heated. It has a thermostatic spring loaded diverter door under the carb. 81 went to the aluminum, water heated/cooled intake and an exhaust with wider radius turns for better breathing. But the 80 gets a steel cover which leaks a lot less.
