Can't think of a "good" reason to keep it. It is there to warm the engine
up (oil first) for emissions reasons in the car, I believe, just like the

possible the oil could congeal in the cooler and not circulate too well!!
So you need a bypass.

Hopefully since the engine is right over the rad it will probably
warm the rad as it warms up. When you start moving the cool air flows
over the rad first and then the engine. Kind of built in feedback.
