The reason we call the engine compartment Hot air is because the radiant heat from the engine heats all the air entering the compartment. All cool air becomes warm air or even hot air. Unless you duct the engine air intake to the outside the motor always gets warm air to cool it. This applies to anything else you install in the engine compartment.
Chuck Davis did a bunch of testing on all of this a few years ago including testing the effects of a cold air intake duct to the TB. The mid engine design is just really hot sitting there without much chance to get clean cold air to cool it down.
Save yourself time and money and install a front oil cooler.

JD, I have a 69 2.0E motor I plan on installing.I wanted something small so
I do not have to do many mods to the car. It will have webers and headers
that is about all, otherwise stock.I have all the parts needed for the install which I wiil probably do in late summer since I could not drive it mich last summer.
Let me know when you want to stop over.I plan on finishing running the
lines this weekend and hopefully test it.
