Upper door hinge: do I need this part?

I'm rebuilding my upper hinges on a '75 Dart. I realize this part of the hinge assembly is probably to keep the door from overextending, but every single picture I have seen on Google and sale sites shows the hinge without this part.

Opinions on keeping it versus deleting it, before I drive the pins all rhe way home?
