BTW I am really jazzed on this rad location. This removes many of the
objections to liquid cooling systems. Simple cheap and easy to make and
install. Again: The rad IS the scoop, the duct and the diffuser.

What would this look like in a Canard pusher installed? Would the 
traditional NACA scoop still be installed for other purposes? 

NO!

(Oil cooler, air supply to engine, etc.) If so, could it be made 
smaller or partially covered given that the radiator is out in the 
airstream? And how does it affect the airflow into the prop?

Less than the required P51 type scoop.
