Does the pad on the back of the engine bay do anything and is it ok to remove?

It is a heat barrier. Take it out if you dont mind your feet getting hot.

I think it cleans up the engine bay a bit to pull it, I just put a little aluminized dynamat or equivalent on the inside of the firewall to prevent the heat transfer.

it's not really that much warmer though.

One thing you do want to keep in mind is that that pad also acts as a sound deadener (sp?). If you are squeamish about noise and such, that should probably figure in to your decision.
