83 Pace Arrow

I have read that the right side of the engine can overheat due to the blocking of the air, and because of that I have installed heat shield to those plug wires, but I have also read that a air scoop of deflector should also be installed to create a air flow to that side of the engine.

Can anyone provide me with more information, on how to create and then install this scoop? Or if it is really needed.

OK I guess it is not a scoop

I guess it is a channel that will increases the air flow from the front of the motorhome to the right side of the Chevy 454 engine on the P-30 chassis.
