X brace in front of radiator

Any harm in removing it? Need to put electric fan on that side of the radiator and the cross brace is in the way.

The X brace is removed for the A/C condensor installation.

Re: X brace in front of radiator

I've read in other threads it makes no difference in strength. I've also seen an installation where the rivets were drilled out and replaced with bolts/nuts so it can be removed and replaced, making it much more convenient to deal with.
