I have not compared the differences however I can. The problem with this is that is will not be a black and white answer. It will depend on the track. What really needs to be done is to run cfd analyses in both configurations and use this data to run vehicle simulations at different tracks.

To help cool, you will need ducting. Airflow is the most important aspect to heat rejection of the radiator. It shouldn't hurt anything, but wouldn't know for sure without an analysis.

Yes they would as the area is less. Coefficient of drag is probably similar. The vent canard is interesting. If it works, it should reduce the drag over the mirrors.
