In the third picture what is the red piece in front of the driver side valve cover beside the air conditioning pump ? 

Looks like a home made heat shield for the AC line muffler

Lets review
Chrysler performed engineering exercises to ascertain the fit of AC [H51] that was not available on certain production engines [440+6 & Hemi]. There is proper documentation, history and follow up to ascertain that yes they did indeed put AC on non AC specific engines.
There are very credible reports of AC on 440+6 E bodies  and yes Virginia [like in Santa Claus] Hemi cars and try this in - non R/T E bodie configurations. Maybe documented in affidavits. Maybe more... There is fender tag data and yes broadcast sheet documentation and other documentation to prove to all the experts these cars were built and they are not pre-production cars or pilot cars. Executive cars and cars that were built by exploiting the ordering system in the 1970-71 model year. One of those cars you all claim not to exist found me... so just wait for the rest of of the story...it won't be on here but in print.

No homemade cover? The first picture shows it better. Not sure why it looks like a cover in the third picture? It is just the angle. It is the same as line muffler just in front of the valve cover.

Idgaf, that '70 Charger is bogus!  Pretty obvious the fender tag is reproduction, lol.  Not gonna tell how I know, lol.

Yes, there's rumors of the E bodies (promo, pilot) getting them but it ends there.

Show me a broadcast sheet and I'll eat crow!
So, its supposedly a "rare" car built past half way point for the 1970 year.  Von?
If it was a super early car like the 1970 C500 Hemi car or on the last day @ St. Louis, July 10th iirc, I might understand...
