about the intake... if you cut the corner and some of the front of the battery tray, you should be bale to get it don there. that is, if you have the dual fans. the single fan should just go right thru there i believe.... not sure i have 2 fans. but its not that difficult to cut the battery tray.

the hood scoop is just for looks but i think you can make it usefull if you cut a hole in the roof if you have no ac that would be cool........but it would still make you look likea ricer why becauseno ricer has cut the roof to make itwork right

They work with the manifold spacer as well. Don't know about by itself though.
