The reason to leave it in would be if you need to support another monitor output from it.

The reason to remove it would be if you don't, since it would otherwise just use up extra power and create more heat needlessly.

There should not be any "interference" issue or anything like that, plenty of people have ran multiple video cards it just takes an OS that can, drivers that are compatible (nVidia and ATI are the best alternatives), enough power and enough cooling.

unless you bought a new power supply you will likely have to remove your older graphics card because of power requirements and cable limitations.
