Default Will it hurt to remove power steering cooler?

I have a 98 SS and I'm considering removing my power steering cooler. I know these only come on the SS's and not the Z28's. I drive around on 275's but I'm not into road racing or anything like that. Will it hurt anything not to have it there?

I think you should be good, the PS cooler was an extra option.

It could be had as an option on the Z28's, mine had one from the factory.

Just look at the top radiator hose and see if you have a metal tube with a "flange" in the middle, that's the cooler assembly.

I took the lines coming in and out of it (Too close to the Procharger pulley). So far so good.

I found out i have one on my 2002 formula. I accidentaly punched a hole in one of the return lines and had to us jb weld on it. I thought powersteering coolers only came with ss and ws6 too. But proved myself wrong.
