Leaving it in won't hurt, but for complete removal it's gotta come out.

If you're talking about the radiator support (big black plastic piece you see when you open the hood with the labels and such), yes you need it!

the one in front of the condensor towards the nose of the car should be replaced after you remove the condensor. it helps direct air flow over the radiator to keep the car cool

Yea, leave the black plastic piece. You will have to take it off to remove the Condensor, but put it back inplace.

i know what you are describing, replace it after you remove the condenser. like i said, it helps direct airflow over the radiator.
