I've combed through the engine bay and there certainly isn't anything with a heatsink on it in there. No alternator, either. The DC-DC converter is located in the passenger compartment, and so are the various computers.

There are a few components under the hood that would prefer lower temperatures (the 12V battery comes to mind), but they'll be okay.
