Could it be the clutch/flywheel causing the acceleration problems instead of airflow problems?

The car basically has a very hard time accelerating (even on flats), and it loses speed almost immediately when going up any kind of hill. It doesn't stop, though--as I keep down-shifting, it will just chug up the hill at maybe 20 mph (when it should be going 40-50), and then it's fine on the downhill. When I accelerate from a stop, it builds up speed very slowly, with a few jerks and stutters--feels kind of epileptic, for lack of a better word--but eventually it settles in alright and just keeps going.

That sounds exactly like what happened to a Camaro I owned. The only difference was the tranny was an automatic. (Well...that and it was a GM....)
