Finished my sheet metal mods to fit the 914-6 cooling tin to the 3.6 engine yesterday. I figured I'd post some pics so if someone else has to cross this bridge it'll give them some ideas. Since you can't buy a kit that fits the 3.6 you need to do something like this...........

Brad/Ron, Thanks for the feedback! I guess I'll have to consider relieving the block off somehow. I thought about whether this might overload the impeller, but it seemed like a small area vs the overall output area. I imagine if it's a problem it would have to be at the upper extremes of the rpm range. Maybe I'll put a spring loaded blow off port that way it'll only blow out at high R's. In my case there's not much room to do anything more than put some holes in the block off plate due to flipping the intake. The air flow sensor lays right on top of the block off area.
