Try Air Inlet Systems in Canada(hey in your backyard), should be part #917 and 918. They are exact reproductions in fiberglass, not cheap ($150 shipped both sides)but really the only alternative to finding used.

I have there Ram air HO system which is an improved version of the GM factory dual snorkel system and it flows excellent.

I have a 86 LG4 I am converting to dual snorkel. Thanks for the info also to sofakingdom for his tech articles. Now do I also need 2 of the AIS #990 tubes to connect to the snorkels? Any clearance issues with the emissions hoses and valves on the RHS of the air cleaner?

No, sure don't have any installed pics, engine is currently out and I'm painting engine bay and redoing all steering components.

I pulled one from there website, should look very similar to LG4 or L69
