94 Del sol Si Exhaust Manifold help
Okay, I bought a Napa brand exhaust manifold kit (shop where I am training gets a discount) and the problem is that the new replacement kit heatshield does not have the hole for the dipstick. I have not tried putting it on yet, so I am wondering what should I do?
There is a blank space where I can punch a hole out (No outline for reference though) Or Should I reuse my old worn out heat shield?
More details
d16z6 Manual
Here is the part I got http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/Ca...859_0359515001
Here is what mine looks like ( It is raining or else I would have real pictures)

Thanks for any advice

You're asking two different things.
First you say the manifold doesn't have a hole for the dipstick, then you ask about the heat shield.
The dipstick doesn't go through the manifold.
It does however pass through the heatshield, which I wouldn't bother with anyway.

Yes, Sorry I meant the heatshield. Are there any major downsides to no heatshield? I don't need crazy power or anything just a running DD.

The increased heat MIGHT cause the paint or clearcoat on the engine bonnet to blister/peel.
I'd like to take my heat shield off as well....but don't want to take the chance.
