I think the alternate air is just this, if the ram air box becomes plugged with snow, ice or a bird you will need air from somewhere for the engine to run, I think the cowling air would be the best air and I hope I will never need it. Once it is opened. you will need to remove the cowling to make sure it is closed properly, per plans. Hope this helps.

If you design the cable installation correctly, there's no need to remove the cowling. It will work like a normal control. Here are a few pictures of my installation.
