Fresh Air in Engine Bay

I've read many of the posts about trying get fresh air in the engine compartment. I'm envious of the one's who have been able to effectively pipe in fresh air. Makes me wish I had GT5 / GTS flairs to try and scoop up some fresh air and redirect it.

I don't really use the A/C. I was wondering if disconnecting the AC Evaporator and hooking up a blower to blow out hot engine air from the vent would have any effect? I have noticed that even after mild runs the engine bay is cooking hot. Is there an easy way to get some of this hot air out?

I have the engine out and I thought about trying to scoop some from the bottom of the car, but wasn't sure if that would have any success. You probably wouldn't have to weld in but a small piece metal to get just a little more air flow in the engine bay. I'm not talking about blowing off the engine lid or anything like that, but any amount of airflow would have to help. Could you pipe any in from the bottom front of the engine to have any effect?

Even if I don't do it on this car, I'm already planning on what I will do on my next build (GT4/GT5/GTS).
