I know engine & oil should stay cooler, and there's really not much protection. I am just wondering about aero dynamics and mileage possibly. Wanted some opinions.

Leave it. If you are worried about oil temps, get an oil cooler.

The lower cover is there for a reason and serves an important aerodynamic purpose. It also helps to keep debris out of the engine bay and serves as an extra little layer of protection should you run something over on the road.
