Front Bumper
The Front bumper has been modified by filling in most of the grille, adding an air dam, and by sealing the gasp at the hood. The less air going into the car or under it the better your aerodynamics. The radiator really doesn’t need that much air but if your car gets warmer than normal then you might want to slightly open up the opening for the radiator till it gets back to normal.
Consider using an electric motor to drive the water pump. Also many years ago some hot rodders used an A/C Clutch assy as the crank pulley, this way they could harness all available power and eliminate all parasitic drag, albeit for a short time, by switching the A/C Clutch “OFF”.
