In my case it’s a 66 Chevelle so here’s a front pic.
I was going to block the two extra openings on either side of the licence plate. The area between the bumper top and grill bottom does have a filler panel in there it’s just black so you can’t see it.
Does it matter or am I over analyzing this?
Thanks
* If you had the space, your inlet would be low, as wide as the radiator core, with the height equal to 1/6th the radiator core height, feeding an airtight, diverging duct in between.
The 1956 LOTUS Eleven built for Le Mans remains the standard today.

Without the space, you might just limit the opening to directly in front of the radiator/ AC condenser, and only as large as the actual heat exchanger core area.
