I have the tray installed in my car and I think it would be more beneficial to take the tray off and use the lid for ventiliation and to provide some cooling properties while at idle...

I tried that once.. great when it's not raining... when it is raining, it runs funny. Oh, and take off your firewall insulation water trap and make sure your hell hole drains are clear. And vacuum out the crud once a week.

You need the tray. no if's and's or butts. Specially if you are running Carbs. Water will follow the course it most wants to conquer. Your engine internals specifically. Cooling wise it won't help a damn bit with any stock motor. Even my hopped up 2.0L I cruise @ 85 90 MPH air temp out side is usually mid 90 degrees with serious humidity. Never have a over heating problem. Car runs cool @ idle too. well except in the passenger compartment.
