You could, but why? Removal is just as easy, and it will prevent the pooling of the chemicals in the bellows. And with the intact tract removed, you can inspect the throttle body bore for carbon deposits and clean if necessary. Peek inside the intake manifold (through the throttle body) to inspect for excessive oil, and if present, could be the reason why the Seafoam treatment is necessary...
