I did this on a 1991 Trooper (the really boxy first generation body style) to augment cooling when driving in 4L in Arizona's canyons where surface air temp generally exceeds 130F during summer days.
Didn't do much to help... but the steep, flat Trooper windshield may have had something to do with its ineffectiveness.
On my Blazer I put OEM magnesium vents from an 80's K-car in my hood. Seven dollars and fifty cents at U-Pull-It and about an hour of measuring, taping, marking, and cutting.
Yarn testing shows definite evacuation from under hood at speed (and at rest, from engine fan)
