i took mine off because i was having idle problems, and now it idles perfectly, and i have no problems with it stalling or anything. but, i also fine tuned my idle and TPS after taking it off too. i also dont have PS, airpump, or A/C either, so if you do still have them, it might be a good idea to leave it on.

As stated earlier. The BAC's function is to maintain an even idle speed when a load is placed on the engine. eg p/s, electrical, a/c-actually will increase idle slightly.
It can be removed, but an inconsistent idle rpm may be encountered.
