Contrary to popular mythology, the 4.9L/7.5L fresh air intake is NOT inherently better than the 5.0L/5.8L duct, which is higher (less-likely to ingest water or foliage). It's blocked as much by the grill & headlight as the other design is by the hood, but neither is blocked enough to affect airflow into the engine.
