As shack mentioned, this would probably be a bad idea. Not only do you mess with the aerodynamics of the car (which in and of itself is no big deal safety-wise at most non-track speeds), you could potentially decrease cooling capability. Air is designed to be shunted from one location (front of the radiator) to another (wherever they decided to let it flow, but you can rest assured physics says it's someplace else) while traveling through the radiator. Remove that panel, and suddenly you've interrupted the normal flow, possibly stagnating the air inside the engine bay and increasing temps. Shack's suggestion of pushing the air from the windshield base down into the engine bay is fine, just make sure it has somewhere to go.
