Cold start unit removal???

I have heard of folks removing the cold start unit located on the drivers fender well in the 87 crx si. It was sudgested to make sure and remove the round plug to the ima and relocate that part of the unitleaving that portion in tact. just to free up some space. I dont have to worry about emissions where I live. Is there any truth in this? Im just curiouse cause i love to have a tighty engine bar. Thanks guys and gals.
