If you're in warm weather, I'd go for it. Heck, even in Missouri, I don't even use mine anymore. I've got it on a manual switch, but never end up using it, even when it's well below freezing outside.
The best way to go about it is to get a non-EBPV turbo pedistal. Dieselsite has them, but I don't remember how much they are. However, you decide to keep your current pedistal, the rod will have to go, because if it just hangs down, it can start to leak out of the seals around the rod. There are several methods to getting rid of the rod, but I'm not familiar with most of them. You might try a search of the 7.3 forum to see what you can find. I know it's been discussed before.
