Mine never had the asbestos heat shields and it never will. I don't have any problems at all with heat. I know of a few others who have also removed them while restoring and never put them back on. I would keep them for reference purposes down the road instead of throwing them out.

If the asbestos shields are in good shape, then keep them. It's not like you are breathing the stuff, they have served 60 years now, and no doubt they will serve 60 more.

Mind you, I doubt very much that there would be that much problem without them. We are not driving hours in the hot desert after all.
