I am hearing noise already noise when starting in 40 ambient temps. My garage is heated but when I park outside at work all day it's clearly going to lose heat fast.
An engine block heater is not going to warm the SC oil.

This reminds me of why I stayed away from modding cars for so long.
Not to nitpick your decision to remove it permanently, but we discussed this very topic back in May and Brian confirmed the temperature < 25 stipulation in his response to you: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...&postcount=339

What else changed that is now bringing you to the decision to remove it forever? I'm not trying to be a **** here, I'm honestly curious if you've encountered other negative issues with the kit.

The block heater is probably enough to keep ambient temperature in the engine bay at a safe enough point, but I guess this all depends on a lot of variables which confirms for me that the verbiage in the Vortech warranty doc is legal "CYA" content.
