Apparently you do not understand air-cooling either. The problem is not the lack of heat, (although I think that would suck), the problem is two gaping holes between the upper and lower part of the engine.
What do you think the sheet metal and rubber seal around it does for an air-cooled VW or 911? I'll help: it keeps the super-heated air from the exhaust heat exchangers from reaching the top part of the engine compartment. The sheet metal of the big shroud, (dog house), that has the fan in it is supposed to be sealed at all points through a series of metal ducts and flaps to direct cooling air to the cylinders and heads, etc.
The whole thing is a brilliantly engineered system that somehow works but if there is so much as a bad seal and you are sitting in stop and go traffic on your wonderful summer day, (it's a summer car!), things will over-cook and go twisty.
That's how it works. In this car, it won't work.
