I have a set of 1971 383 hp exhaust manifolds and the hot air valve is stuck, should I cut it out or leave it. Going to sell what should I do?

is it off the car ?
I assume it's rusted shut ? or something like that
I'd attempt to use some sort of rust penetrant & free it up
at least get it so it's open
if it's stuck open it won't hurt much
on extremely cold days, it may be a lil' cold-blooded
longer for the choke to turn off
if it's stuck open & you do nothing
I'd just disclose it to the new potential buyers

I would definitely try freeing it first. As suggested above, rust penetrant.

Use Gibbs Lubricant Oil to get it free.
