Hi Bruce,

I think that the location of the opening greatly affects the effectiveness. You should be fine with the whole upper grill blocked (and with the edge of the hood sealed). I think leaving the center of the lower grill open will be the most effective with the smallest opening; or at least that is how it works on my xA:
