Default Splash guards and under hood air flow?

Helping a buddy with highway heating issues in his 66 Abody. He forwarded an article from another pontiac site that was suggesting the lack of splash guards over the a-arms would disrupt airflow to the point of reducing air coming in past the radiator. Claims to have reduced highway engine Temps by reinstalling the splash guards.

I really have a hard time believing the lack of splash guards would have this effect when driving down the road 60+ mph.

Anyone ever hear this theory??
