1970 and 71 Cyclone Spoiler, why did it have the peepsight grill hole in the center?

Larry Shinoda designed it, and was keeping drag racers in mind, so he put the hole there for faster, easier camshaft swaps.

    The hole itself is not for camshaft swaps. It's pure styling; supposed to look like a gunfight. The whole section does easily rotate up to facilitate the aforementioned cam swaps.
