Why would you want to?

And yes, if you block off the BAC, the engine will run badly. Without the BAC, the ECU cannot regulate idle. So your idle will change whenever the load on the engine changes, or you will have to crank the idle speed to compensate.

Long story short, there is no reason to disable the BAC.

I will never understand the concept of "cleaning up the engine bay" by removing random stuff. Especially when it makes the car run worse.

Bypass Air Control valve. It is the idle valve which controls engine idle speed. Other manufacturers call it an IAC.

You'll find all this info in the Factory Service Manual. You can download a free copy from the FAQ.
