Of course if you never use it you can pull it out. I would just leave it for now b/c you may want to have it fixed at some later date. It being there will not interfere with your completion of the radiator install. Just try to be careful not to mess up something else. Since you know where the puncture is I would mark it with a Sharpie or something like that to make it easy to find should you decide to repair it in the future.

I don't think epoxy will fix it.

Good luck with that holding the A/C system is under pressure and that increases as the compressor kicks in. Better to have just marked it and had it Heliarc welded or Tig welded at a later time now when it doesnt hold you or someone has to clean that goop off the spot to be welded before it can be properly repaired.
