It looks like you have half depth nostrills. Worth either cutting them out and replacing with deep ones or getting a deep nostril panel..
That way the hot air all exits up and does not cook the foot well Area of the car.
Or
form an aluminium kick up piece to meet up with the nostril panel to direct all the lot air out.

I need to cut the top out still,I only took out what I needed to clear fans for fitment. as you mentioned,I will be making an aluminum duct.
Video quality isn't good. but I think the info is may come in handy!
Ah yes, i see what your talking about now that i went and looked at car. The bottom of scoop does not go all the way down so i need to get that air to flow out. Great call, thank you.
I used a regular heat gun and cold rag to shape top driver side roof for windsheild fitment. Worked well

MK1 dual Nostrils
For those of us that have the MK1 with the dual nostrils you will notice that only about 60% of the fan on each side exits through the nostrils. Last summer I was on a mission to find out how to cool the cab and took some IR readings while on the road. I drove the car hundreds of miles and took...

Joe, for your fuel system, do I see that you are running the Aeromotive 340, (link: Aeromotive 340 unit) in tank EFI unit? And if so, do you like it? Did you run it on just one tank and cross pump the other tank? Is the motor quiet? I hate hearing loud electric motors running on "old" cars. Just seems wrong. I know, if you run EFI, you're gonna need it. Thanks for any advise. I'm building a AP MKI too. Thanks, Ben
is there room to run your coolant hoses?
Yes, I’m running the 340 in tank unit in the 40. Its a great setup/design I’m also using it in my cobra but the dual 340 unit in that. Pump is very quiet compared to most others. I’m not running across over pump only an equalizer hose. Pass side tank has fuel level sender and vent,driver tank has pump assembly and fuel level sender. I filled 1 tank and both tank leveled off within a few minutes so -12an equalizing hose works as it should lol. if Not done yet be sure to measure each tank for fuel level unit as Chris‘s tanks are a 1/2 difference in height so i had my senders made to match each tank.

Joe, GREAT information, thank you very much! So I am looking at the dual 340 unit for my AP, and I too think I have the same setup as yours. One filler, one tank is higher and the "equalizing" hose via the -12 AN fitting. What is the difference between the Aeromotive 340 and the 340 dual. Just two pumps? And I assume, that you mount the 340 unit on the "filler" side tank? My filler is passenger right side of the car. So no dual filler caps.
This is the units I am "about" to purchase; Aeromotive 340 Dual kit
Thank you again, Ben
The gto40 tanks DONOT fit the dual pumps. Att is pump I’m running. Still have 2 filler caps.nothing changes except for doing a equalizing hose instead of multiple pumps.I’ll post pics of complete setup tomorrow.

Was not a problem as the hoses ran on either side of the nostril walls.
