What is the point of the two little holes in the air filter ducting?

I looked on an '87 350 and he didn't have them..But on mine, there are two little holes right before the MAF. It seems like it would throw off the MAF because of air leaking out..but maybe it is the opposite. Ideas?

Drain holes perhaps? Are they in the bottom of the duct?

Nope..they are on the sides..about the size of a standard LED light on your computer speakers..I hope water isnt getting that close to the MAF! That's scary! Thanks for the reply..
