You need it, it's a critical part..
That being said, the intakes can be tricky to get to seal without leaking. Make sure you follow the torque spec and sequence properly (It might be different with aluminium).

It was engineered with a valley pan.. must be important, right?
Dimple the China walls so the RTV has "feet" to grab hold of.
... and before torqueing down the intake (like 25 ft.lbs. IIRC), align it by installing and seating the distributor.
