Along the same lines, I picked up a set of 1980-1981 Camaro Z28 'air
extractor' vents I was thinking of using. Has anyone used these on
their coach? They look like these:
https://www.jegs.com/i/OER/691/K8081/10002/-1. The hole is mounted
towards the front of the vehicle, so airflow works to suction out the
air.

My evaluation is they let SOME convective heat soak out at shutdown. However., the square inches compared to radiator area is inconsequential. The
biggest problem is the step intrusion because of the about 50% of the vent is not functional at all. (Blocked) ,Though hot air comes out, this is
AFTER the radiator it does not lower engine temp.

We know after monitoring the pressure and scanning the vent, that indeed
they do relieve pressure. Some relief is better than none in this case.
I certify safety cabinets and have instruments and can tell people that the
so called dead spot does allow air to move out more than meets the eye.
Yes it is dependent on air pressure, and more is moved when the
pressure moves up.
Our Air filter side is involved with blower units and other related design
of equipment so we have some experience in this area.
I'm not here to argue, or wrong anyone, just stating what I know.

Effectiveness not withstanding, you asked about location. Maybe the following photo will help:
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/mechanical/p34779-dodge-front-wheels.html
The PO installed vents on my coach are as high and as far back as they can be given the location of the step, etc inside the body.
In the Summer, a LOT of heat comes out of them when I am stopped, I don't have any way to tell how much when underway.

On my first GMC, Some one along the way, added two engine vents to the sides. They were both open to the interior of the coach, but the driver's side
had an extra special function. Whomever had installed an axial fan, aimed to exhaust engine hot air out thru the vent. It had an elaborate system of
relays and thermostats designed to engage the fan at certain temps and to disable the fan in case of fire.
I removed the relay system and went to a simple dash switch. When you flipped the switch, you could actually see the temperature gauge drop. I felt
that the switch gave me better control than betting on someone else's design without documentation.
Looking into the placement of the vents, they were lower than the plywood floor, not intruding into the passenger compartment.

However removing the fender liners can allow water and mud and road grime to splash against the engine.
I have an album on the GMC photos site showing height I installed a louvered vent in the side of the wheel well liner. I’m not at home right now but if anyone wants the link let me know.

Keith,
I don't know where you live but all the travels that I do year round with
rain slush, snow and mud you get all sorts of stuff splashed on your engine
and engine compartment with no wheel wells to protect it. BAD choice to
remove them! I agree with Emery.

On the other hand, our GMC, with the inner 1/2 of the wheel well liners
removed, has been from Key West, FL to Fairbanks, AK with no noticeable
pollution of the engine -- and VERY stable temperature control (aided,
probably by the complete grill-to-radiator ducting).
I admittedly don't go on dirt roads very often, and NEVER (hopefully in
this lifetime) go anywhere snow/ice/slush covered!

removed, has been from Key West, FL to Fairbanks, AK with no noticeable
pollution of the engine -- and VERY stable temperature control (aided,
probably by the complete grill-to-radiator ducting).
I admittedly don't go on dirt roads very often, and NEVER (hopefully in
this lifetime) go anywhere snow/ice/slush covered!

Iirc the fender liners also function to create a draft through the engine
bay to help control excessive heat buildup in the doghouse. Read it here so
it must be true. Sure is a heck of a lot easier to work on without them
however.

I think the firebird Transam version works better visually. The lower corner cut out parallels the wheel arch, the vertical trailing edge matches the
GMC panel line, and it is a GM part, sooo it could have been an option...
Jim B has a coach on his lot that had this vent installed. Don't think I took a pic.

Dave,
Check out the side vents on this coach.
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g5609-refinish.html
I believe they are escalade vents on John Sharpe's GMC.
Very nice. 8o
