IMO remove it if your car is stored safely in a garage and if you don't drive it daily. If this is your DD don't do it! There a lot of crap out there that you don't need inside your engine bay such as bird crap. LOL
As far as rain goes it should be fine as long as you are moving so that the engine heat keeps it somewhat dry. I wouldn't leave it over night when its raining...

So you've never had any problems leaving the manifold exposed? The paint on my hood faded even with the heat shield on. Only thing i'd be worried about is water getting on the manifold while its baking hot?

my vent it off .....when ever it looks like its going to rain hard it goes right back on... i've been caught with the vent off in the rain it doesn't look like it hurts anything.... i think it releases heat faster...
