You posted the same question twice so I am closing this one down.

If you just remove the top half it will beat itself all over the radiator.

I imagine GM put that there to make sure that the air gets to the radiator but I really can't say for sure.

Just cut the hole...

One more thing, be more patient when waiting for replies. Most people are not on the boards on the weekends. They are out burning their tires off.

I took the whole piece out when I removed the condensor. It just kinda hung there. The car is still apart so I hope that was ok. Consider this a TTT.

I've ran without that for a while now.. but plan to put it back soon. I do suggest using it. Likewizkid said.. it help move air throught the radiator instead of around it.

I don't understand why GM put the air box where the did. The front half of the filter lies over the core support. Like terry99ta did, I thought cutting the core support would allow more air (50%?) in. However, there are other ways to make horsepower. Cutting the core support is a safety hazzard IMO. That's fine if it's purely a track car. I wouldn't do that to my daily driver though.

And SiLveR2000 Z28...

I'd leave the black radiator shroud in.
