i have a 97 and next to the radiator there is a piece of rubber like stuff the blocks a gab between the rad and the headlight. i was wondring if there would be a problem with removing it, that way cooler air could reach the air filter.
 
The older jeeps had that open and a tube feeding the airbox. If you open it up(there are two screws holding it in), you will get cooler/more outside air to the intake. I removed mine on my 96 and then went overboard and cut out as much metal and header panel as possible to get even more air to the intake.
