There really no benefits to go blocking things off. They are mainly used to remove things that are not going to be used anymore. For example, when people go premix, they use a block off plate on the front cover becuase they dont need the omp anymore. Or when you remove emissions equipment like the cats, the ACV becomes pretty useless(S4s) so you remove it and blockoff its mounting area.
