Ya, they all got a Dixco hood tach...but so what? Like any dealer then or now, Yenko chevrolet would add whatever the customer would pay for...but that should have no bearing on the classification of a 1970 360hp/350ci Nova, of which at least 177 were built by chevrolet on the assembly line for public consumption, had vins, and carried the standard 5/50 warranty.
Many of the 50+ 1968 copo novas built by chevrolet (ordered by fred gibb specifically for s/s racing) were modified by dick harrell performance before being advertised and sold as gibb-harrell novas, yet they are in the class guide and have been for 40+ years (in there as assembled by chevrolet 396/375hp 400thm form).
The 1970 360hp/350 nova should have always been in the nhra guide, plain and simple...its not a paper shelby combo or vin-less like the cj's.
What specifically is required by the nhra for classification? There are a couple guys on the gm historical documents side that might still care...we have most of the paperwork, but the nhra hasn't cared the last 3 attempts.

Would you want to give someone else this information you have as far as the paperwork and let them give it a try getting it approved?
