LA engine air injection would have the tube across the rear of engine to each manifold. and a tube down the drive side VC with a check valve for the air pump.
2 small bolts bolt the flanged tube into the 1/2" hole in the ends of the manifold.
my 93 DAK the magnum engines have a egr tube that bolts to pass side rear manifold and barrel keg intake.
I like to find 2early/late 70s SB 360 LA truck manifolds, I nab 2 from the driver sides of JY trucks to ditch the heat flapper and emission plumbing.
190 bux for a set of hedman headers for the 85 2x are a good price and well worth the $$ spent. IMHO.
this is one of the biggest bolt on improvment that can be done to a 4-v 318 in a truck.
I build all mine the same, small 4-v/headers/duels/stock high stall TC/2.76 thru 3.55 gears for street duty.
cam is optional. results vary.

The smog plumb in the manifolds are not connected to the exhaust internal to the manifold.
You may, more than likely, need to pay very close attention to how the ports line up between the manifold and the heads, but the air injection stuff is a non-issue. I would test fit the manifolds on the heads and see how they seal up.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
