If you're looking for pure cooling, some naca ducts on the hood might do better to get cool air into the engine bay or pull hot air out. I know marsh has done this with the vents being used to push cooler air into the bay but they could be reversed to do the opposite and pull hot air out.

Recall seeing those but it's been a while since I checked them out, wasn't sure if there was enough space to do that but I'll take your word that there isn't.
For me anyway it's more about having something functional rather than fake, so even if it could be done without the snorkel part I think it could still work and likely help at least some heat escape, but at a minimum wouldn't be just for aesthetics.
