you'd be wise to put it back on it's there to keep dust and debris on the off chance of it being sucked in there by accident

put it back on, unless you're using a blowproof bellhousing which there isnt usually a provision for a cover.
Ive went without a cover with my lakewood bellhousing for 2 years now, but
i only drive the car around once a week though.

Ive not had mine on for 7 years, aint run in to a problem. I think it will let the clutch run cooler cause it is like a vent. But it is a matter of opinion.
