I searched around and didn't find any conclusive answers.

The scoop goes down and splits, one directs air to where the airbox used to be, and probably gives a little help to the cone filter (inconclusive evidence, I know).

But, the other part goes under the battery to the air conditioning system ???

I ask this because I degreased my engine the other day and I think I may have either sprayed some close to that area or something, because you can smell the degreaser when you turn the climate control fan on. It's slowly going away but I was considering removing the scoop anyway. If I do so, do I just leave that hole open or do I put some sort of filter on it? Thanks for the help guys.

The tube going underneath the battery has nothing to do with the cabin ventilation system. It is actually a tube to the resonator box, which is supposed to keep the intake system quiet i think.

The intake for your AC system is located near your windshield beneath the wipers.

That explains the smell then.

As you can see here

The firewall of my car was hella dirty and when I used the degreaser a lot of it went to that area.

Thanks guys. Once again I hope this helps someone to search and find the answers they may have.
