Ummmm,, No and No
Well actually I have a hood pad but haven't installed it, and have the old cowl seal but didnt intall it after the paint job, figured i'd get a new one.

how about a late model 4bbl aircleaner, with the fresh air duct. not sure where you'd route it, though. that will quiet it down a lot even if you leave the snout open to the engine bay

Put those on first.
Then make a decision on the air cleaner.

I got old!! Years ago I reinstalled a new hood pad and cowl seal. Made my car sound way better at a intersection at a light, much quieter.
Then I went back to the stock style "tennis racket" air cleaner. lol It also makes my car much quieter and flows plenty of air as I have driven the car hard for like miles at a time out at the Bonneville salt flats for like 5 miles at a time. It never ran out of fuel or air out there on a very hot day.
Another thing my stock air cleaner does is limit the amount of evaporation out out of my edlebrock carb. Open air cleaners allow much more evaporation from my experience and take longer to get fuel into the carb.
My dorky motor...lol.

I'd look into one of the stock 340 air cleaners, no snorkels but I think they're baffled?

Would you run fresh air ducting off the snorkel or leave it open to the engine bay?

Hmmm, were there ever any factory setups with ducting? I've seen some over the counter stuff at Autozone with a dual snorkel and ducting. Its chrome, maybe edelbrock... I have an open filament just like the OP

What ever I go with, i'll probably keep the crome Edelbrock to put on at shows, and use the quieter air cleaner for everyday cruising.
Probably dont want to run any ducting, so if I use single or dual snorkle type the skorkel will be open to the engine bay.
Going with the factory 340 air cleaner with no snorkels it not an option, too expensive.
Not worried about correctness, or the look so much, just want it quieter for cruising with the wife.

sure. started around the time of leanburn. single snorkel (no air doors on the base) with a fabric type duct to a fresh air vent on the inner fender. you see them all over F/M/J bodies. 2bbl and 4 bbl. thermoquad version MAY fit AFB/AVS but I am not certain
It's round, as is the end of the air cleaner snorkel/snout. I can't recall if they were formed that way, of there was an adapter that fit into the standard rectangle. but really, I would just walk through a pick-a-part, there might be one laying in a trunk.
even if you don't hook up the duct, at least it's sealed except for the snorkel. good starting point - and cheap (although I guess you'd need to put a piece of flashing over the leanburn hole if it's one of those)

You do understand that you then have to listen to everything she says right? 
And, even answer her every question/remark/nag during that entire trip...!?   
There might even be a chance you actually have to have an actual 'conversation' with her. 
And don't even think you can get away with an occassional "Uh huh"-reply. You're toast if she catches you doing that. 
I think I'd rather listen to that open airfilter roar for some 2-3 hours myself...
