Turbo kit has a larger intercooler that replace the front bumper brace to fit. This leaves a good amount of room between the IC and AC condenser. The SC system uses a smaller IC that tucks in behind the factory brace, and not leaving much room for the cooler. Going in front of the IC on the SC cars would be an option but it would be at the cost of some cooling to the IC, AC and cooling systems.
To the OP my suggestion would be to first open up the fender line to allow the hot air to exit, and better yet would be to duct air from the bottom of the car up with a small spoiler, and again a cut out in the fender line to allow the air to flow that direction. Similar to what the Corvette, Trans Am, or other cars with no grill opening use to direct air to their radiators.
