Default AC 289 (Not AC Cobra 289)

Anyone have any pics of the engine compartment of the AC289 or know what they used as an induction system? This would be for the few cars sold in 1969 (I believe) by AC which had the 427 body and a 289 engine. Were these just base Hypo 289's with the single 4 barrel and chrome air cleaner & valve covers?

My understanding is that these cars had the skinny wire wheels, had the original 289 Cobra dash layout, and while most pics I've seen have been with no hood scoop or roll bar, I found a pic of one that had both (?). All I've seen have had undercar exhaust, and naturally the AC emblem instead of the Cobra.

Any additional info on these cars would be appreciated. Tried doing a search but all I've found so far was the usual Cobra 289 info.

Thanks for your time!
