remove fog light for "ram air" affect?

Lighting / Fog Lights written by @JBert Candy (Ford Mustang 2010)

I am in the middle of replacing the front lower facia on my 2010 GT (with the GT/CS/Boss facia with splitter and fog light holes for brake cooling ducts) which involves removing the front bumper cover. With the bumper cover and grill off, I can see the intake duct for the "cold air intake" is directly behind the driver's side fog light. If I remove the fog light, the air will have a direct path into the intake duct. See picture.

So I was thinking that might provide a little "ram air" affect, especially on the road track at fairly high speed. However I guess this is already a high pressure area, even with the fog light installed; so I don't know if it would really make any difference. Also if it is raining, that gives the rain a direct path into that duct; the duct makes a turn upward to the filter housing but I don't know if rain would blow through and get the filter wet, and what bad affect that might have.
