So here are a few photos that should help explain what I'm referring to (please forgive my horrible drawing skills):

The black represents the approximate proposed location for the vent in the hood -

And yes, there is plenty of room, I've angled the radiator forwards. From the top of the radiator to the front part of the support (which will be cut out of the car soon enough here) it is 9" and another 8" straight back before you hit anything on the engine -

So would it matter that it isn't in the center of the car and is offset to the drivers side?
