I think the A160's would be fine without them considering the housing is removed. I don't run mine at the same time as the halides. There's no point as the Radiums overpower anything those lights can put out. This helps reduce the heat in the fixture during the times the AS160's are on. I didn't need to remove the fans and because the Molex connection of the fan to the board is coated in rubber, I didn't want to cut it out. It shouldn't be difficult.
