Don't! That center part directs air to your radiator to cool the engine. You'll be overheating without it.

The middle 1 was the only 1 I was going to keep on. The 2 sides was b/c I didnt want to make new ramps and if I took the 2 sides off my the ramps I have now would clear it. I have seen acouple of Vettes on here with out the sides.

I am looking at the same thing. Didn't want to hijack your thread, so if you see me answer/ask on yours (have a thread going too) know before hand that I am in the same boat!

If ramps are your only concern, just leave the side pieces on. They are very flexible and will bend out of the way. It won't hurt anything (except maybe your eyes and ears) to drag them up a ramp.
