Default Convertible question

Looking at the convertible C7, I’m guessing because of the placement of the tonnough cover, there are no vents in the quarters. On Z51s both vents are functional, one for the transmission cooler and one for the differential cooler. Do the convertibles not have these coolers or is air plumbed to them in a different way?

As I recall reading years ago - Z51 optioned convertible C7s get the cooling air by passive means too. I want say the air scoops are under the car.

My C6 Z51 Vert had ducts under the car right in front of the wheels. I pulled out the wheel liner once a year to clean them out. Easy to do. First owner never done it and there was a few pounds of dirt and gravel inside.
