Is it ok to remove the plastic air deflector that's infront of the radiator?

What is it for?

it deflects air into the radiator.

it is needed to get air into the radiator.

do not remove it.

how about those Ram Air kits like the FTRA that blocks the radiator? the reason i want to remove the delfector is to see if i can play around with a homemade ram air.

The air dam makes the air go upward into the radiator. A SLP Intake goes infront of the radiator and the air deflector feeds it and the radiator, since the radiator doesnt get its air straight on,

when i had my grand am it broke off, it was off for a good 4 months, all i noticed was a little increase in temp, nothing huge...i would think that it would be fine to take off for a little bit i you wanna play around with a homemade ram air, but in the end i would prolly want to incorporate the air deflector back into the car with your homemade ram air setup...
