I really don't think there's a rule against it.

Just a warning to everyone else.........if you do this, after taking the plate off make sure NOTHING gets in your compressor......safety purposes.
Exactly what plate are you talking about? You didn't modify the compressor in any way, did you?
If you did, don't show up at my inspection station with a modified compressor. (Or any other inspector for that matter!)
