Having Technical difficulties, HELP!

I see how this guy set up his intake and made the cleaner into an open air element, but I asked him:

1) How did you get the metal snorkel attached to the air cleaner off? I have a metal snorkel attached to my air cleaner, and a plastic one facing out. Is it possible that my stock setup is different than yours?

2) How does your snorkel stay in place on the air cleaner? (How is it attached?)

3) I tried to use a 14" chrome Edelbrock open air cleaner, but it seems that it is slightly smaller than the stock one. The filter it came with is also larger, but it seems to fit very snug in my stock air cleaner. Can I replace the stock air cleaner with the slightly smaller Edelbrock air cleaner?

4) What about the small line (small tube) that runs into my air intake hose, do I just flip that around?

Here is the pictures of his set up :

I can give you some more pics some more detailed info. i dont have much time on the weekends. Ill get back to ya later, probably tuesday. If you got that open element on there, make sure it is NOT touching the coil I not sure if the plug wires can touch or not.. I think it could cause a fire.
