I rebuilt those support angles with 18 gauge steel sheet. Not that hard to do. I had the originals to make a pattern. The hardest part was forming the step to account for the depression for the transmission cover (picture attached). Also a pic one of them installed with the replacement floor. I left the old ones in place until the replacement floor panel was tacked in to maintain the location of the bend between the floor and toe panel.
I would NOT leave them out.
