Actually, here is my car's actual window sticker.
I don't need to remove the wipers, as the hood on this car extends to cover them in the rest position. I should probably install a coolant temperature gauge so I can see how hot the car gets when I'm blocking off holes in the front bumper.
I will also be installing a vacuum gauge (as I really don't have the skills to do the mpguino thing) to monitor throttle input.
I'll report back with my findings.
