Subject: P51 scoop - splitting feeds?

How are people splitting air from scoops into intake, cabin cooling, and radiator feeds? Are you just partitioning the scoop into separate output feeds? If so, how large should I make the feed to the intake air for the engine, and should it have a bypass to allow unused air to escape, or should I just feed it to the engine compartment/cowl and let the intake pull out what it will?

I'm planning a single P51-style scoop that drops below the boundary layer, and I'd like to avoid having separate/extra armpit or similar scoops for other air supplies.

Thanks,
Chad
