Wow Don you are always thinking. The main concern would be air getting under that 2 in space above the AC shroud. So some how that space has to be blocked off. I think I would try to build a structural secondary shroud out of FG epoxy and use the existing attach hole to your existing shroud. You can also make it from 1/8 Al 7075 T6 or what ever structural Al you can find if you are not comfortable working with FG. I not sure you need the thermoplastic shroud that is up there now for the AC to function correctly maybe someone else can comment on that. But if it is not needed you can get a few more attach points with this new one to the AC structure underneath.
