*This was done on a totaled truck in the salvage yard that I was getting parts off of for educational purposes only and the plate was removed afterwards*

You will get a check engine light and it is not really known whether it affects performance or not, most claim it doesn't. It does help the truck breathe cleaner and therefore last longer with regular maintenance of course.
If you remove the cooler altogether a plate may not be a long term solution for you because from what I've found the cooler being bolted to that elbow on the Up-Pipe gives it extra stability so as to prevent the bellows from cracking as everyone talks about.
If you run the plate with the cooler in place it appears stock and gives the up-pipe stability so the bellows are less prone to cracking.
If you replace the Up-pipe with an lb7 passenger side up-pipe you obviously don't have to worry about the stock one cracking but it'd also be a good idea to do a y-bridge kit so that you can get a replacement charge pipe altogether.
You can also make your own lb7 up-pipe for free by cutting that extra elbow (the skinnier/shorter leg portion of the y shaped passenger side up-pipe) off and welding the hole closed with section of the leg that extends up to the cooler.
