If you can't,you might consider opening the nose a bit while closing off the bottom,air-tight.
Also,the forward part of the belly pan is the most important part.That's where you want to spend your sweat.

I had an oldsmobile with a closed front. It had an air dam with a steep angle about a foor behind the bumper that would force air onto the radiator. O HATED THIS. My car had alot of nose lift (VISIBLE over 100mph) but that could have just been caused by the round shape of the car. Another thing to consider for you-keep the belly pan flat (or no scoop at least) and if you have an electric fan make a "cold air intake" for it that routes to your wheel well, so when the engine is hot, it pulls air from a aerodynamically dirty area anyways.
