huuh...
This is just my non expert opinion but I think that the engineers who designed these trucks knew what they were doing and they built it to be at its best all the time.
The DI and DII have to VERY different cooling systems, the DI a 3 core radiator and the DII a 2 core.
The DI has 2 aux cooling fans and the DII 1.
As long as everything is working properly then under hood and engine temps are a non issue.
It is the best 4x4xfar for a reason.

oh boy..
I agree with Spike, if everything else is good, I don't see the need for cutting up the hood.
The more I find out about these beasts, the happier I am I happened to buy a DI. Didn't even set out to do it, just stumbled on it and thought, what the heck, I have owned almost everything else, guess I'll give this thing a try. Now i want two or three more of them.

It's a sickness you know .....when you want more of them

Airplanes and 4x4s are just a little different.

If you're looking for a cheap and easy way, unbolt your hood, buy some longer bolts, and throw a couple washers or make a spacer block to go between the hood hinge and the hood. A 1/2" would open up alot more ventilation. I don't necessarily see the need for vents, but that would be easier and negate the need for cutting, bondo, paint, etc.
is not the gap behind the engine bay and by the windsheild where the a/c air comes from?

Surely you're joking, these "engineers" gave us a motor that nearly always requires headgaskets replaced before 100k, slips liners and blows up randomly, a double cardon joint with no factory provision to maintain, three amigos, electrical gremlins, no Cdl for most of the disco 2 run, and you give them credit for knowing whats best for the vehicle?
I think not.
