Crossfire Hood Intake question

Just won this on Ebay. I noticed that there are what looks to be a coulple of holes in it. Are these actually holes and does anything conect to them?? I didn't have this in my car when I bought it and my shop manual doesn't show anything like this. If anyone knows what these are for please let me know.

Thanks

Hood Intake

That is not a crossfire injection air box.

Sorry, I was thinking of the lower air box. I was trying to edit the post, but my connection is slow today. Looking at couple of other T/A's, they look like drain holes to keep water out.

yah, you are right. I emailed the guy selling it and he told me it was to drain water when it rains or when you wash the car...makes sense I guess. You don't want water getting in the engine
