Acoustic valve can be removed as long as you seal off the vacumm pipe. won't gain anything other than slight weight saving.

As for CAF, space is a real problem and I personally lost power on the RR by having a CAF from foglight direct into the airbox. IMO have a CAF down into the inner arch so it only draws in cold air

What air box are you running

 

[k16v]

just the standard one that comes on the 172

In that case, remove the AV, and leave the top feed going down into the arch, or remove it if you want a bit more sound
