Low flow volume would be the only real concern there, I'd think. And it should be pretty easy to duct your hood, but with the negative volume area under the hood, due to the flow under the car pulling with no non-turbulent inlets, it should create enough flow to aid in cooling, no?
Just a thought.

Better to go back to post #11 of this thread, and have another look at the colored picture showing highest pressure at the nose and lowest pressure at the roof and sides. Inlet at the highest pressure stagnation point at the nose, then good ducting, then outlet at the low pressure area along the sides around or behind the wheels. (The roof has wonderful low pressure, but ducting to that point would be too much trouble--go with the sides. Actually, ducting out through the fender wells and around the wheels would work pretty good, and also be handy to draw off engine heat.
