for the most part - yes

From what I've read and seen, the TransAm hood was originially intended to actually remove hot air from the engine compartment. If you look under the thick black heat shield you'll see what are channels in the hood that go from the front vents to the side vents. These look to be non-functional however.

So yes. Just buy the vents/louvers and install them.
