Lots of info about it here.
There is no negative effect of removing it since it is an ill conceived pos to begin with.
The thought behind it was to make the A/C work better but the valve itself is of such a bad quality that it bleed hot coolant through even when shut off.
I used to buy 10 hose kits at the time and remove the valve as soon as it start to leak or when replacing the coolant thermostat.
Unfortunately the V6 engine, the hose routing is more difficult so on those I still replaced the valve only.
