When I had my engine out last time I removed the foam as well as the engine pad.
I found when I drove down my dusty laneway it created a vacuum and sucked a big cloud of dust into my engine bay with out them.
I have since installed the OEM foam and pad as well as a piece of pipe insulation. The pipe insulation is much more dense than a pool noodle and should last longer.
There is potentially lots of heat in the area so I'm not sure how the noodle would hold up.
