Pulley shroud

They are for the extra V-belt that drive the compressor for the 
dealer-installed air conditioning.  You would be best off to get an intact 
one so you could be assured of getting only cool air pulled in for air 
cooling the engine.

10-15 psi of each, orifice diameter about the thickness of the metal or a 
bit smaller.
