Late this week I'm also replacing my fuel filter which is known to increase FE on my model of mustang.
Most of the airflow into the radiator should come through the opening in the bumper cover. Unless there is a power steering cooler or something up top that you are trying to get air to, I would just block the entire upper.

Also, I tried to do a similar block behind the grill on my old Silverado. I believe the air pressure pushed on it and flowed around the block anyways. It was far more effective in front of the grill than behind.
