FMIC - Not sure I like this

Not going to have the room to mount a intercooler in front of the radiator (AC condenser and tranny cooler). So I mocked up this location. the back hangs down because the tank/outlets are too wide to fit between the rails. At the lowest spot at the back the IC is 1" lower than the engine cradle so I have the needed clearance.

Was thinking a air scoop/pan to direct air thru the IC but now I'm thinking I might loose too much clearance, in my head I actually had more clearance.... I can probably get away with only .5" gap between the IC and the pan at the rear and something like 2-3" below the front bumper to catch the air and flow it past the IC.

I think a few folks have done this in the past, any suggestions?

Should I get a smaller IC?
