They look cool for sure, but if you have a hole in the hood, it will let in some air and heat OUT especially if the carb is not sealed to the hood, right?? Might help some of the guys that are always crying about their engine runs hot!
I think you're right on here...but I'd have to guess that we're better off sealing the carb to the scoop to let the fresh air in and finding other ways to vent the engine bay pressure. :D

Thank you so much for the information. I have an AAR scoop like that on my 72 Duster and a 76 Dart Sport. I also had a 74 Dart Sport 360 in 1975 that had that scoop from the factory.
