Idea behind the valley pan, is when you have a working EGR & oils that get on to the bottom side of the intake around the EGR passageways, bake, turn crusty & then fall off over time & end up getting chewed up by the cam or crank & rods or plugging the oil pickup screen down in the oil pan. That valley pan will contain that crusty mess & keep it from going anywhere else.
Some say that pan does nothing, but I've had the misfortune of having to pull the intake & heads from a bummed up head service job after only 2500 miles & it was some of that crusty crap laying in the pan.
If that intake has no EGR set up, might be ok not to bother with the pan.
