May I ask which 3d Scanner and software you are using? Is it able to generate a solid from the scan?
Concerning hood vents: Im using a hood similar to the Seibon TS Style combined with a similar radiator duct and Made good expierience with that. Only drifting especially with A/C in is still limited. Besides that it's working great. But I learned that massive oil cooling is needed in addition and also I will swap my Koyo Radiator for a more advanced unit. I hope to be able to drift the car with A/C on one day without Heat issues. We'll see...

I'm using the EinScan HX scanner and Geomagic Essentials for post processing. It doesn't generate a solid but you do get a nice point cloud. Using Geomagic I can then add planes, axis, cylinders, etc. to features I'm interested in. Then export as a surface or 3D image. Then with Solidworks I can use the features I mapped for mates mates and measurements and use the surface or image as more of visual references. Still learning the most efficient way to use this process but getting better at it.
I haven't had the car back on track yet since finishing the swap so I don't really know if the additional venting is required or not. But still doesn't hurt to try and improve the cooling as much as possible with a big engine in a small engine bay. My biggest hope is that it further drops under hood temps at low speeds. I've made some PDM logic changes to turn my radiator fans on at 15% speed any time I reduce speed below 10mph and coolant is above 180 to keep some air moving through there at least. I really need to get proper head shield on the headers like what you have on your car. The header wrap is more of a band aid for now.
