So my point it maybe professional engineers know more than the average guy does. But then again I'm not smarter than a GM engineer like you folks are.

If something is on the car, chances are there is a reason GM put it there. Unless you are running a secondary (non daily) car in different operating conditions than a daily driver you should put extra thought in removing something before you do. Why dick around with something when you have no legit reason to dump it? Anytime you change something you need to be prepared for possible consequences.
Example: I love it when guys rip the A/C out of their rides for what, (rounding up) 10 hp and 100 lbs? That's great, because on the drive back and forth to work and school you need that extra power... LMAO. Half the time the car won't even get above 4000 RPM the whole day, nowhere near the engine's power peak. But in the meantime, you get to sweat all summer.
