Yes, but the duct serves two purposes:

1. Force the air through the IC. Air will take the path of least resistance... so if it can go around, over, under the IC, it will..

2. Direct air to the battery. There is a reason batteries need to be cooled.

thats what i thought, i believe his theory was that if he took all the plastic **** out of there, the air would get in anyways, and do a better job of cooling everything down.
