I think they did this for maintenance reasons, though I have no real information on this. Without it, changing things like the FPR, injectors, and voltage regulator is a PITA. I have one of these split manifolds on my '88 9kt, and have used some supposedly phenolic (that's what the dude who sold them to me said! :) carbon/kevlar couplers to hold it together. Having the ability to pull the upper manifold off is *wonderful* when accessing things behind the engine, and makes maintenance on the blower motor and heater core substantially easier.
