The air dam will be the best bang for the buck and considering how crazy older cars are on the under side, I'd think that a belly pan would be a huge undertaking. On pro-touring there is a guy who posted pics of his Chevelle with a dam and it looks good. I think he does standing mile, or top speed events from the skimming I did.


Custom Chevelle Air Dam Help

Don't let the aero discourage you; I really don't think you are in that bad a shape. You could block off the entire grill and mount the air dam under the core support, converting it to "bottom cooling" but it might look a little goofy. I wonder what kind of benefit could be had from a pro-stock type spoiler??
