misnomer

My car had been making a nasty rattling noise the other day, so I stopped driving it untill I had a chance to look at it. Took off the valve cover and it turns out my upper timing chain guide snapped off at the base. My question is should I bother getting a replacement or just pull it out and leave it be? This guide just hangs over the top of the chain and doesn't seem entirely necessery to make things work. . .
