A/C rooftop unit shroud (updated with photos)

I ordered a new shroud based on age and model and the new one is fully enclosed, while the old one has a cutout on the rear (by the fan and filter). It looks like a perfect match otherwise (will know for sure in the morning when I go to replace it), but should I cut out the rear area or just leave as is? I hope I'm making sense. Thank you!

    Leave it as is- but depending on the make and model- Coleman or Duotherm/Dometic- there might be foam pieces that need to be in place to keep air from recirculating.

    If the original cutout is so the condenser (radiator looking part) can breathe then yes you will have to cut the new one out.

    crazyro - Not enough information to answer your question. Photos would help.
