The old cowl inductions for street cars like a '70 Chevelle were to let air in the engine intake, but they still sealed off the back of the hood. Race cars open up the back of the cowl, but they have no HVAC inlet.
There is a reason the ZL1 has the hood opening up front, and the back is sealed.

Drove it in the summer, in 100+ degree heat w/o any problems and a 1000+ hp engine. And only on the hottest days do I even have to run the AC so I guess I am just lucky. Actually my stock 2012 corvette interior gets hotter than my Camaro does and it's hood is completely sealed.
