Yes, remove it and plug the hole in the IC duct. Otherwise, you won't get much air flow through the IC.

yes, top/left facing the front of the car. McGyver it with duct tape if you have to. Other wise the cold air will escape through that hole instead of being forced "through" the radiator. Some race shops use sheetmetal or plastic screwed over it.
