Default Ok to run the stock intake manifold WITHOUT the support bracket?

I used to run the JG IM and it didnt need a bracket. But now Im running the stock IM and dont think I have the bracket. OK to use the IM without the bracket?

i never run that bracket. plus, it makes it easier to wrench on your motor. more room back there.

I don't run one either and went to the trouble of cutting the extra aluminum from theunderside of the Manifold to make it easier to work around the back of the motor.
