Removing Atmospheric Damper on an Oil Steam Boiler

Hi:
My service tech was just here and installed a Field Controls Oil Vent Damper on my old steam boiler. As part of the install he removed the atmospheric damper that was there, is this ok? The install diagram shows the atmospheric damper installed before the automatic vent damper... What are the possible negative effects?
The literature for the OVD is at http://www.fieldcontrols.com/pdfs/4325OilVentDamperSS.pdf
Thanks for the help.
