There are a couple of long, hot climbs in AZ that could make that a VERY
expensive policy for him. The climb up to Flagstaff from the desert is one.
(From memory) you go from about sea level to 7,500 feet, in something like
25 miles, without pause (correct me, foggy memory).


Buy a motor in mid-late August, load up your van with 7 folks and make that
climb in 112 degree heat, and see if you don't spin a bearing if the flaps
aren't in there. What a weed-sucker. You made a good choice.

I once had an engine rebuilder tell me that he wouldn't guarantee the
rebuild if the flaps were left installed.  I found a different rebuilder.
