Remove belly pod w/LH4000’s?

We’re getting ready to install a set of Airglas LH4000 hydraulic skis on our PPonked 180 w/ 3-blade MT prop.
Am wondering if we will need to take off our Aerocet belly pod (smaller than Cessna/Firman pods) or will the LH4000’s provide enough flotation (1955 sq in) in all but the lightest/deepest powder to keep that belly from wallowing?
We will likely install the Burl’s tail ski.
