Just as an FYI, that modification is not allowed in PCA SPB racing. I wanted to do the mod when I built may car and had a long discussion with Walt F. at PCA. Below is part of an email response to me.

"Tim - none of my rules committee colleagues are in favor of allowing any openings in this cowl/battery tray area to be used for cabin ventilation if the stock components are removed. I don't doubt that having these openings will move air into the cabin, but there are other ways to get it."

To get around this, you could easily make a plate to cover the openings when racing with PCA. Again from Walt:

"So your removable plate sounds like the way to go."
I kept the factory covers and just use those if it's raining.
