What would you do? Ruf valance but no oil cooler yet...

Have a pair of BW Motorsport Yellowbird replica bumpers to mount on my car. No oil cooler yet (winter project). Car is 95% track so proper downforce is important. Would you mount the front bumper/valance with the oil cooler hole open, or put a piece of sheet metal behind the screen for now? Rear tail is a '75 Carrera piece. And if it matters, the front valance has the brake duct inlets rather than fog light holes.
Thanks

X2. Back when I had my silver SC I made block off plates for both the front cooler opening and the fog lamp openings.

Both made a noticable difference in the feel of the car at speed - for the better.

Thanks Bill & Scott. That's what I figured but was looking for some Pelican wisdom.
