Coolant & Flow - General

Hi,
In a new technical topic - Additional Engine Cooling.which I wrote earlier.
I think removing the hoses to the heater matrix would be beneficial from a track day maintenance point of view.
Obviously you loose the heating, which Im not pleased with.
But, you get much better access to the exhaust manifold, and lots of other things.
In the other topic i am after more engine cooling so removing the heater matrix will immediately reduce its help. (Ive never seen one so dont actually know how big it is).
As before, has anyone done this, can it be done?
Now just so you all know Im mad, is there a 12V heater i could use to remove ice from the interior of the car in winter. My car is kept in a workshop always. I was thinking of only 150 to 250 watts to keep the amperage down, and only run it when the engine was running.
As before - Has anybody removed this or know what percentage extra cooling you can get from the heater matrix.
Regards PhilS
