They not only make the engine compartment look finished, but they also perform a function.
They help keep a lot of road debris out of the engine compartment especially if you are driving on a lot of unpaved roads like they did in the day AND they help with cooling by helping to maintain a good pressure differential across the radiator core which improves air flow through the radiator.
If Henry did not think they were necessary, he never would have installed them.
I have engine pans on all my Model A's
