The only con I can see is not running a dust cover that has strut rods on it for support.
That and I guess it could be dangerous if you're the type who likes to work under the car with the engine running.
I leave them off usually, or put a plastic one on so it doesn't rattle.

I just remembered one thing though, One of the th350's in my nova blew a pump seal and slung fluid on the header, which was wrapped, and it started a fire. If I had the cover on there it would have prevented it from slinging out.
So if you have one use it.
BTW if you have one why do you ask?

It had maybe 100 miles on it and I knew I should have redone that bushing because the converter was a tight fit, in fact I had to tap it in with a hammer.
See I know all the dumb mistakes because I've made most of them already.
