If I'm not mistaken, the fresh air vents get their air through that plenum? I wonder if them Chevelle's had vents in the kick panels like our trucks? I'm not saying it won't work because if a "cowl induction" is properly isolated like or similar to what GM engineered for the Super Sports, it will work. Kinda labor intensive though considering that that cool air can be had at either side or below the core support. You have to be careful about piping a positive pressure intake that increases pressure and flow with speed? If your using a carb she'd be rich at idle and lean at cruise speeds? I like your thinking though because those bugs can and have been engineered out...But, there goes simplicity and one of the main reasons why I wont go LS or anything with an ECM in my old Chevy...Guess I'm old school, but I liked the first paragraph in that Cowl Induction add..."Picture this: Two gorgeous big-block Chevelles parked side by side,
both packing identical firepower. One’s got the standard SS hood,
the other’s equipped with a cowl induction setup.
What’s the big difference you ask?
Five, 10, maybe 15 more horses?
Nope. Actually the cowl induction
system adds zero horsepower to
your Chevelle. What’s the point then?"

..."Just sayin"
