If you get the venting and ducting done properly heating won't be an issue. The VW Bug was rear engined and never once did anyone complain about the car being too hot.
Okay I just had to check. I've driven a stripped car before where you could hear the fuel pump and everything too, but the MR2 is another step up in loudness because the engine is so close to your head.

Thermal insulation isn't actually that bad as it'll only weigh a few extra pounds, but sound deadening is almost certainly a problem.
