<VV> Simple Question - Turkey Roaster

Ok, hopefully this will be an easy question...
 
In my '66 Corsa (originally a TURBO), I would like to use the top shroud from a turbo motor on a 110hp that will be installed (this is so I dont have to buy a different "fresh air" hose that goes through the firewall) - since the turbo engine will go back in, eventually.
 
Will it work?  I could go check, but the turbo engine is pretty burried right now.
 
 
 
Thanks, 
Eric Prosise
