Question about intake manifold gaskets

I just got the Victor Reinz gaksets, from LPE, nice gaskets. But the rear coolant passage holes have a metal block off plate in them. Should I take this out or not? I'm using the Super Ram and Edelbrock 6085 heads.

Thanks

The block off plate positions should match with the old gasket.
