Actually Smith cannot stand stacking heat exchangers. That said, if a car has fenders he does not consider it a real race car. It may actually be better to move an oil cooler to the front fender well and use a fan. Your idea of using the lower intake for the brakes is a good one. I still am a bit of a traditionalist.
