Putting gauges in your vents......

If you install guages in your vents of a trans am, Do you have to block the vent somehow with something so you don't heat up the gauge if you have the heat on or vice versa...or will it be fine? Info from people who have done this and know would be great.

I shoved some bubble wrap down inside the vent and no problems.
