There were 3 air cleaner assemblies for the 4 bbl Firebirds in '76. A 350-4 bbl, a 400-4 bbl and the 400/455 Trans Am. The basic stamping of the base is probably the same between all three and will orient in correct position using a '75-up carburetor. The TA will probably have the square hole for the air breather in a different position than the other two. There should be a D hole stamped in the side for a valve going from a port on the vacuum tee thru the valve to a break valve on the carburetor ('75 has a similar hole but the D is turned). The bracket holding in the Auto-ThermAC diaphragm has straight edges on pre-'77 years. There is a flat stamping on the floor of the base for a sensor. Some have a hole for it, some don't (I'm thinking this is the difference between the 350 and the others).
The TA air cleaner lid has a wide lipped lid for the '76-up Pontiac 400/455 TA's for use with the A542C air cleaner filter. It is available in repop, but I wouldn't know about proper fitment.
