Is the baffle in front of the spacer and behind the waterpump on the T-Bird engines necessary?.  I see the exploded view in the Ford parts book that does not show the baffle but the Thunderbird parts houses do sell this item.  Is there an overheating issue with not using the baffle?  Also, does using the baffle change the pulley spacing to a sigificant enough degree to be concerned?  I’m clueless on this one and wasn't even aware of the baffle until seeing it in one of the aftermarket catalogs.
