Don't ditch it. The rollbar gives a lot more addtional safety than a simple harness bar.

In gerneral I agree that mounting the bar to the sill is superior to the floor. That said, I have seen a few rolled cars with the standard floor mount Autopower bars/cages and in the wrecks the bars/cages did their job and protected the occupants.
