<VV> Lower Shroud removal questions

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

You do, in fact, get better cooling with the lower shrouds removed. There's  
less resistance for the air exiting the engine, and less heat reradiated back  
into the heads from the manifolds bouncing back with the shrouds removed. 
Your  heater may suffer, but your engine will run cooler.

Quick  question about removing lower shrouds. I have read a lot of threads 
where  folks say then run for the summer without lower shrouds to improve 
cooling of  the heads.  Since the linkage to the bellows doors is connected to those 
 shrouds, are they also removing the doors for the summer or letting them 
flop  free after removing the linkage with the shroud? Thought I'd ask since I 
will  be removing the shrouds on top and bottom to do a clean out. Thought I 
might  just leave the bottoms off for the summer if it won't hurt anything.  
Thanks!
