Oops, I think you may have just said the magic word. If there is a hole
drilled in the windshield for it I would not be willing to remove it and
plug the hole without an OK from my FSDO maintenance inspector. I don't
mind fooling around where I know the consequences, but losing a windshield
in flight isn't on my list of Good Things (tm) to do.

Just stop replacing the factory OAT and leave it....

I could do that, but I'd like to remove it because it sticks out of the
windshield, looks ugly, blocks my view, slows the plane down etc.
