Most shells come with the standard cutouts marked. There should be one on the front side of the cockpit for access to the fuel tank (you stated you have that one handled). There should also be one on the back side of the cockpit for access to the engine. There should be a hole for the antenna if your antenna requires it. Some add a hole in a strategic location for access to their HSN for tuning with the lid on.

Other than that, extra holes are gravy.

So I don't nessecairly need to cut out a hole in the other side window or the front? It will stay cool enough with the few holes it already has.

It should be fine with the standard cut outs. If you want to cut out the other side window, feel free to do so. Just realize the more you strip from the body, the less strength it has for those less than stellar roof down landings.

I would stick with the standard cut outs until you get an indication that the engine is overheating or not getting enough cooling air.
