Aerodynamics q?
I have a 99 ex without ac. Therefore of course I'm only using half of my front grill opening for my radiator. If I were to block off the other half would I notice any difference? Either in aerodynamics or engine cooling? I thinking it could actually cool better since it would be easier for the air going through the radiator to exit out the bottom of the bay. I'm going to try it, but what does everybody think?

do you mean block off the side next to the radiator? if thats the case it should direct more air into your radiator which would be better. my cx came with one of those block off plates from factory.

I bet there will be aero benefits. But nothing really noticeable, you're not going fast enough. Hell, Nascar guys use a strip of "200 mile an hour" tape to go from loose to tight.
