Looking for some input on hood scoops

Just installed these repop hood scoops on the 69. And have been tossing the idea around in my head (bad place to visit alone) about maybe making these functional. I was thinking about drilling and grinding the fake grill out in these scoops. Then drill a hole in the hood and possibly fab. a duct to the air cleaner. Anyone seen this done or have anything to suggest. This was a 318 car that i'm trying to make kinda old school. It is now a 408 w/727 and 8.75 suregrip. I do plan on doing some drag racing nothing big.
