Arch Guest in Virtualbox - No X - Do I need the modules?

I'm running an Arch guest in Virtualbox on XP SP3 with no X Windows. Should I install the virtualbox-guest-modules package? Why or why not?

If vesa driver failed, try to install virtualbox-guest-additions and virtualbox-guest-modules.

I'm not trying to get X-Windows running. I'm only using the shell and that remotely. Do I need the addons or modules for anything there?

Try to read what they do. It'll answer the question.
