Assuming your gene is protein coding:

Removing the IVS will probably lower the expression of your protein.

Deleting the IRES could cause major problems, it's there so two different proteins can be translated from a single mRNA. This could result in cells not expressing the selection marker if expression of both your gene of interest and the marker are driven by the same promoter.

Here's some articles:
