Default Lose the Condenser?

Not sure if I will see any gain as far as cooler air giving me cooler EGT's but I was installing some lights behind my grill and noticed that if I were to pull the A/C Condenser that I could adjust them more and it would also free up the entire IC to cool flowing air. I am running manual, so there is not Oil cooler blocking the Drivers portion of the IC and removal of the condenser would effectively open up the other 3/4's of it to fresh unmolested air. My A/C has never worked and I am not looking to make it do so as it will not be worth the time and money. So my question is do you think the freer flowing potentially cooler flow over the IC would make enough of a difference to make it worth pulling the condenser off?

I am waiting on the injectors and 60LB springs now. Turbo should be in July. I just wondered if it was worth the effort or not. I figure since I am in there I am going to do the Valve seals at the same time.

This area of Canada only has two seasons. Too frigging hot or too frigging cold so I am used to it.
