avoiding brake failure with creativity 200 1978

i recently purchased a [used] '78 GT spoiler for my '78 245. i read the warning label on it and it said that adding the spoiler to cars that are not a 240/260 and do not have aluminum wheels, may cause brake failure.

i'm guessing this happens because the brakes wont receive sufficient cooling. so what would be my best choice? adding small cooling fans behind the spoiler to cool the brakes, or make "intake" tubing pointing towards the wheels. im planning on making extra intakes to the airbox, i can just add extra ones to send to each wheel.
