Can I toss the Weight on Clutch fork 94 cobra

I'm wondering what the point of the weight is myself. I'm also having issues with a vibration in the pedal and wonder if the weighted clutch fork could be pushing too much against the TOB.
 
It's to keep the clutch fork from vibrating back and forth. My buddy has a 94' Cobra and lost that weight when he changed the clutch. He hasn't had any issues with it.
