it's always hard to make specific recomendations for an area where I am not standing and looking because of so many times that I have been on a site and found specaial circumstances not otherwise described or apparant to the layperson, but based on the norm and my experience and general building conditiins on average, I would think you are as well off the leave the FG in place if it is not damp and milding, and then drywall over that. The greatest amt of moisture in your cellar will leave in an upward direction as you go through heating cycles, tho that is another variable.

Supposing that the ducting was originally designed for the upstairs only, then it might need modification to include circulating the cellar rooms air.

Excellence is its own reward!
