Allan,
If small air cleaners were available, I'm wondering if the car's original
emissions control system would be able to function properly since I believe
that carb vapors were circulated through the original air cleaner to be
burnt during running. I guess the insurance company is okay with added
performance from the triple carbs as long as it was period correct even if
something like emissions control might be compromised.
But, back to your specific question about K&N's being available in 1975, I
can't remember. I think I'd contact the K&N folks and ask them.....there
should be some record in their files of whether these were being marketed
in 1975. If you hit a snag, see if you can find cheap after market air
cleaners that you can fit for photo proof to the insurance company then swap
out later.
