Plastic zip ties are fine for temporary use, but I wouldn't count on them lasting for years. OK, I'm sure that some here will say that they use them, but are you sure that your zip ties are the one's with the steel insert (vs. plastic, which will eventually break) and can stand up to the heat? The steel clamps are cheap parts, worth finding one. In fact, some people say that they use steel worm-screw hose clamps, I have never tried this.
Regarding the vent hose idea: a way for water to get in - just what you don't want! May be useful in racing applications with glowing hot parts, I don't see any benefit for street cars.
