Should i put the new X1950Pro in Slot 3 which is a X8 slot ?
You should always put the Radeon in "main" slot, so the x16 one is the way to go. If you want to leave nVidia inside - use some other one.

You can get rid of the plastic deflector - the airflow should be fine enough without it.
Just make sure to put a piece of paper inside the right bottom hole for the deflector (notice the deflector had a white sticker there), there's an optical sensor you need to fool. Otherwise the fans will blow at full speed when the machine realizes there's no deflector present.
