I would say more than the roof rack, and many people take them off.

I would say you can take off the passenger side mirror and still be legal.
I read in California ( like 15 years ago ) that as long as you had two mirrors you were legal.

You could have driver side and rearview, or both sides and no rear view ( or have rear-view block by cargo ) and still be "legal".

That was years ago though.
