is it ok to remove the heat shield as long as the screws are put back so that there is no leaks?

Its a heat shield. You can remove it, nothing will leak.

Well take a lookie, there shouldnt be any hoses and wiring going arcoss the heat shield.
the power steering goes there but i moved it a little so it might not now

I removed that when I had to get at the bolts to the water neck for changing the t-stat on my Z24 (which is on the bottom of the engine stupid design). Anyhow I pitched it. Also ditched the hood liner, and the front plastic hood latch trim piece. Nothing wrong with mine as in burning hoses or anything. I don't know if I put the bolts back into the exhaust manifold or not, I probably did but I have the heat shield went in the dumpster. Eventually I'll get a header such as pace setter or OBX, or maybe swap in an L67 GTP motor....
