Let me clear up a few small pieces:

The drivers side flap when closed opens the passenger side flap. This cuts off air to the drivers side cylinders (to warm them up) and lets the air on the passenger side go OVER the oil cooler instead of through it. The passenger side also tries to block some of the air for those cylinders (warming that side up also)

Now. You can remove the drivers side flap and rod that runs across. But you MUST leave the oil cooler flap in place and permanantly flowing air over the cooler. I do this by placing the flap UNDER the two guides in the engine tin piece that is placed over the oil cooler. This ensures me that the flap will NOT move under any circumstances.

Recommendation: leave them in. It is up to you whether or not you use them. Just make sure they will go back to their default position (open).

Surprised somebody hasnt come up with a different method for controlling the flaps.
