Are those hood latch pins located on either side, on the top of the radiator? Or is this all just wishful thinking?  |

Y'all are looking at some MAJOR plumbing work to make the front shroud vent operational. There's lot's o stuff in the way to make the job difficult.
It will eventually happen, but it prolly wont be pretty. lots of ducts going from front-upper to bumper-under to engine-bay "twisted this way and that" --- with a custom intake shroud thrown-in.
Air can only be convoluted so far before the turbulence and CFM factors outweigh the original ducting purposes.
That is assuming you wont take a jig saw to the radiator mounting pieces, or worse.
A no-vent front fascia, and a vented hood makes MUCH more sense, in FUNCTIONAL terms, IMHO .
