It would be cooler with a delsol style power rear window.

Its a bad Idea. Go for a drive in your fiero. Put your hand on the rear window and feel the heat.

No no, what I meant was with the rear window open heat is going to poor into the cabin. You might be able to reduce it with the sunroof open, but even the few convertable/roadster fiero owners can tell you its going to be a problem.

Then forget about it, the only way to keep the cabin cool is to make air flow in enough to make air flow out the rear window. With just the side windows open its going to be vary hard to keep the hot air out. Now what might help is the recall weather strip combined with fans in the decklid grills puching air into the engine bay but its not guaranteed to work.
