You have to take off the IR cut filter, and add clear glass of the same thickness, otherwise you can't focus properly.
When you are shooting, if you want to only shoot IR, you still need an IR filter to cut out the visible and UV light. Likewise if you want to shoot visible, you need a filter that only passes visible light. Without a filter, you get visible, IR and UV mixing together, and your colors go wonky, and they'll never look realistic.
