Steam Radiator Removal

Hi all, 
Doing a small bathroom renovation and we need to permanently remove a small radiator.  Is there any concern with changes to the system with simply removing it and capping the pipe under the floor?  Wasn't sure if there was any system balancing or dead runs to be worried about.
Thanks

    No-- shouldn't be a problem. But...

    With what do you propose to keep the bathroom warm without the radiator?

    This.

    They make radiators in different shapes and sizes. I'm sure there is something available that will fit. No one likes a cold seat or shower.

    Removing a radiator may cause the boiler to be oversized for the connected load. Usually removing a single small radiator isn't a problem.
