Hi H,
It seems to me that perhaps the only reason to NOT keep the kick panel vents functioning is IF the installation of the a/c air box and ducts means the bowden cables controls for the vent doors can't be routed correctly.
?

I decided to keep mine/rebuilt them and the cables.....there is something great about them when the temperature doesn't require the A/C to be on.

Agree!
Agree, and that is what I did, great to have fresh air if you want it and it did not seem right to have levers that do not do anything LOL's!

I sealed mine shut with RTV, insulated over them, and removed the levers. All they ever let in was hot air and it's a convertible anyway.
