No I did not have to remove the outside vent cover.

We put leveling blocks on the cooktop to hold up the new one in place. Then slide it in and out to check where the wall vent and the new microwave vent met. Once we got that figured out I cut the wall on the inside to match the new microwave. I only had to shave off about 1/2" or so. Then I used metal foil tape and some tin/aluminum flashing to make a new vent seal to match each other for a good tight fit.
