Windage tray: to cut or not to cut

[Ameer Antar]

I bought the windage tray (034 103 623A) for my I-5 rebuild, but this is not originally designed for my 5kT. I've heard rumors that you have to cut off the excess metal for a 5kt/tq. Is this really necessary? It looks like it'll stick out a bit, but I'm not sure that it's really in the way of anything. I could be missing something or maybe it'll interfere w/ the tranny??? Please let me know what the deal is. As always TIA.
