Pros:
-removes load off the belt = hp and torque
-removes a belt that can break and take out the timing belt
Cons:
-more vibration at idle (different amount from one car to the next)
If your motor is out it's a no brainer, remove them. Search the archives for more info.

I second Mike's motion.
Vibration can be tolerated in most case.

I did the free way, and there hasn't been leaking of any problems yet.
I had to due to time constraints, but it seemed to work well, i just used the freeze plug for the front shaft, and i cut the back one short and welded it shut. A few more steps and that was it.
The kit may be more convieniant, it's up to you
