Bottom EXT socket removal without issue?

I'm currently in the planning stages to repack an N64 into a smaller case.

I plan to use the hispedido HDMI so I can remove the old AV connection.

I plan to use the Giltesta USB-C kit to remove the old power brick.

this is freeing up loads of space at the back of the board.

part of my issue is the hdmi board is quite large and if I don't want to extend the case width wise then the bottom EXT slot is getting in the way to keep it compact.

I have dismantled many N64 and totally understand the slot is soldered in place, I'm more than comfortable getting the slot off. iv done loads of research on it but I cannot find anything to suggest if it would affect any part of the game cartridge slot working?!

thanks for any advice in advanced.
