While there's nothing to be afraid of, the engine cover has another purpose in addition to covering the engine for aesthetic reasons - it also directs air pulled by the fan up and over the top of the engine to dissipate heat - not a big deal most of the time, but much more important in high-temp conditions like the calif desert or stop and go traffic. I recommend keeping the cover intact whenever possible for maximum cooling effect...
