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...

Before I got the ARP unit, I had already added fans with a mask and a mechanical thermostat to keep the chimney cool. It did drop the interior temperature of the fridge, which shortened the cool down time. I added a constant running twin fan to the interior of the fridge which further lowered the interior temperatures.

When the absorption fridge fails, I will go residential. Thanks for the idea of a fan that cycles with the compressor.
