Default K&N CAI Question?

Is it absolutely necessary to cut the lower radiator cover for the silly vent opening for the install of a K&N 57-3035 on my '01 vert? I can't figure out how this benefits in any way and it seems like alot of work for no apparent reason. Anyone that didn't cut out the vent have any input? Thanks

Thanks Grant, makes the install so much easier and I didn't get what the benefit would be.
