Did 454's have oil fill tubes up front? Olds V8's did... though those look like BBC valve covers?

what is next to the A/C compressor and is that a shroud in front of it?

The thing on fender well is a light for the engine compartment.
May be able to unreel it also.

The thing above the pulley is a shroud, not sure if factory but could be dealer installed. To keep from blowing fluid on hood insulation.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
