Default Front baffle - install or not ?

Greetz all,

what is this for and is it necessary with an electric fan ? I seem to notice not everyone has it installed. (1969 SBC coupe)

I still run mine, keeps the engine clean from road debris and keeps the air out. Never have run without it so i cant say if it helps prevent more front end lift at high speeds

this is a good point. Not like I drive on dirt but my Mark VIII will really blow road debris around.
