Here are some pics of my Z. I'll have pics of the engine compartment and cabin soon.

Yep. I like it pretty well. The back "seats" (nothing more than a storage bench) come in pretty handy for holding things. Like my FSM and spoiler. (I pulled on off a turbo model at a junkyard, haven't had time to install yet).

The rest of the pics will be up shortly.

Love the hot air intake, haha. Seriously, though, sucking 200 degree air from over the top of the radiator can cause detonation. Nice looking 2+2 though.

Shield is there to keep out the water. It rained the other day and the filter got soaked on the bottom.

As soon as I get the cash, I'm gonna do a custom intake and find a cooler spot for it.

Not much choice for the shroud. The new radiator doesn't allow for the shroud. The little tabs that the shroud needs are non-existant on the radiator and I didn't see a way that I could zip-tie it down.

Any ideas for shortening the intake and putting the filter where the A/C compressor used to be?

The MAF can be unbolted from its baseplate and put just about anywhere you want. So if you want to put the filter where the A/C is, go for it.
