My first GMC (1975 Avion), a P.O. has installed an elaborate relay controlled axial fan aimed to exhaust out the shark vents. Worked very effectively, especially down here in the South. I had to remove the control system and just used an operator toggle switch. When the temp gauge (real VDO gauge) showed an increase in engine compartment temps, I just flipped the switch. Instant cooling.
I would do a simple re-design, using an Ardunio to operate automatically, based on engine temps. I would also add a high range cut-off and a flame detector to detect engine fires. Cost would be about $30.
Merry Christmas and a much Happier 2022.
See you in Patterson.
