The house is an old one and predates them. If I ever steel myself to put up with a year of dust and filth and workmen clomping through, I'm going to have a huge hood with no cabinets above it, something to suck the heat out of the kitchen in summer at the very least and the reek when I'm reducing balsamic vinegar at the most.

If you do pull it out, you are going to miss it terribly, if only for the light right above the cooktop.

It might be better to pull out the little, useless cabinets and install a modern, lower profile hood.
