Cup out!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aye aye aye!!!
HERE'S THE DRAWING FROM FSM... PRETTY EASY TO TELL.
EDIT....
Technically you can remove it w/o any side effects. Jeff P actually advises to remove it on built motors, because at high rpm / hp, it can actually act as a wedge & loosen the crank bolt / pulley.

I dunno how else to put this... but the L-Series motor is about as simple as it gets. Obviously the first build will be an "experience" tho.
I get to rebuild my Metro motor this week... it's pretty simple too I guess, but no marks on the timing belt to make it dummy proof (like the bright links & dots on the L-Series timing components). I get to use liquid white-out.
