Sounds like the sport coupe or Belinetta nose. These did not have ground effects. The 82-84 style had the larger holes than the 85-87 which looked more refined.

Re: Camaro Nose Need identification

Standard nose 82-42 had larger slots, 85-86 (maybe up to 87, but w/e) had smaller slots. The 82-84 had recessed turn signals and were more square and the overall shape was slightly more angular.
The 85+ nose looks nearly the same as all 85+ gfx cars sans the front valance gfx.

edit - or, since I type so slow, what Scott said
