I need to "trim" the center tunnel a little so my pedals can fit better. How much of a structural factor is it to the car? see pics.

I cut the top of my tunnel out (to put stuff in there, weld clutch tube, kill rust, etc.) and without most of the tunnel the floor still seems plenty strong. (I'll be welding the top back on) I still wouldn't run a car without one, but taking a little chunk out should be fine.
