I imagine you would need to be very careful with changing the airflow through the intercooler with the air con rad at the sort of levels your car is at, I imagine it would need to be mapped with it in place to take in to account any temp changes.

No better, just different. I sold my Sierra and bought a Lambo, I'd never do the opposite!
