Lived in El Paso and now Tampa- HOT! The BB hates not running a thermo, but plenty of guys do (or should I say do not). Some guy gave this long thing about going up hills and the eng cooling too fast on the way down- warping the head... Must live in Nepal.
If you live up north(ish)- keep it in. I've never had a problem- then again I never use heat or my seats.
There are measures to cool eng than removing thermo- new radiator is a great start- esp if yours is 80K old and gummed up- HUGH differance! temp switches, change coolant/water mix, keep eng clean,custom or 2X oil coolers, more oil, fans
