Cowl air scoop
There's an air scoop for the cowl vent?
Vents are placed directly in front of the windshield because there is a high pressure area right there as the vehicle moves forward.
Installing a scoop would seem to force more air into the vent. However, it's possible it would block off more air than than it would direct into the vent.
It may be equivalent to moving the vent forward, out of the high pressure area.
Now, if it faces the windshield, it may actually help.
Food for thought.

*Flame suit on*
I have the Bushwacker one, installed open towards the windshield, and it does help A/C function in the Summer by forcing more air into the intake when moving, and keeping away some of the engine heat.
And if you're wondering, yes, I did take thermometer readings for a few days before and a few days after, and averaged about 8 deg colder out of the vents.
