Ive seen a few saxos that run with no dash, heater etc. I get there will be mist issues but other than that, why not remove it to save weight?

The heater matrix is always open, there is no heater valve. It forms part of the engine cooling system. If you blank it off, you actually lose some thermal effiency from small parts of the engine, which can cause localised overheating
the TU is pretty good but it still happens.
older XU engines like what you get in the 306 are really bad, maybe 20-30 mins of track driving with a blanked matrix will kill one of them.
Not sure about replacements, I know demon tweeks do mini matrixes.
