Every 70 Dart hood I have seen, even slant six cars, have the cutouts and openings in the support structure for the twin scoops.
Are you sure this other hood you have is for a 70? It should have holes in the front center on the hood for the chrome Dodge script.
Also if you have a twin scoop hood you should be able to measure off of it to recreate the openings in the other hood.

'70 through '72 share the same hood. Yes, they are the same except for where the Dodge emblems are located.

It does have the Dodge emblem in the middle and it was the original hood on the car. It is buried in the garage right now but as soon as I can get at it I will post a picture of the underside so you can see what I mean. I am not referring to the holes for the twin scoops but rather the holes where the studs would go for a dual snorkel.

Here's a picture of the under side of my original 340 hood. The picture you posted is for a 72 snorkel hood.

If you read my original post I said that I wanted to put a dual snorkel scoop (not dual scoops) on the extra 70 hood I have which is the yellow one I posted the pics of. The 72 hood I was showing for reference of the hole locations for the snorkel scoop.

72 structure and hing mounts are different than 70-71. Here is my 72 hood that has the factory holes for the snorkel scoop which I've installed.
