Did you seal outside vents after Residential refer install?

I am in the process of completing the install of a residential refrigerator. Trying to decide if I am going to seal the vents on the outside removable panel. Pretty much decided to leave the roof vent...

I completely sealed off the lower vent and left 1/4 of the top vent open, vents are both on side of trailer. Under the front of the fridge I have a 1 1/2" gap that I put a vent cover over. The fridge can draw in cooler air from the inside and vent the heat out of the top vent. Seams to be working well. I used Gorilla tape to seal the inside of my vents.
