Unless you are doing something that specifically forces you to remove one dogbone, and replaceds the other with a better/ stronger one, I would not remove them. You are asking for trouble.

if you look at that last picture, it is still mounted to something, i cant tell what but you can see on the bottom that there is a mount still leading to the engine somewhere

Default What the?

I have laughed all the way through this thread lol. Most people do stuff to increase performance not decease it. By removing the dog bones 1 or both you ARE NOT going to get ANY positive results. The only reason to remove them is to use an engine tilter for doing spark plug for easier access to the back of the engine. But be careful using even the engine tilter because of you tighten the bolts too much you can crack the cast alum engine mounts the dog bones connect to. The idea here is to move forward not backwards. lol
