nope, just make sure that everything is disconnected from the IM.... (all hoses, bracket that connects to the block, and wiring) .... You don't want anything catching when you pull the head off.

Exactly, I've never removed mine when removing my head. I think its simply to make the head removal slightly easier by not having something close the the firewall to bang up againt. Plus it'll weigh less if your manhandling it off. Leave it on.
