My guess is the plates are there to better direct air to the radiator. When I installed the plumbing for my brake ducts, I had to remove all of that, and there doesn't seem to be any adverse effect.

I know a portion of it has to be removed to install the Z1 25 row oil cooler as well.

Hope that helps. Synolimit has done a ton of mods to his car, most thoroughly detailed for all of us (). I would suggest going through some of his threads as they help explain a lot about the car that you don't realize until its in pieces.
