make sure you seal it off very well otherwise you will be getting a lot of heat in the cab. additionally you may want to thing of where your going to suck the air from so that you dont suck water in.

I have an 88 xj but if I remember right under the cowling (below the
wipers) has about the same amount of open space. Yes you can pull air from there but it also supplies fresh air (or vent air) to the cab. The smell of gas fumes is also possible if the compartments aren't segregated. Here is a pic of mine....if it will help.
