If a reactant was removed, did the new equilibrium system shift to make more reactants or more products?

The new equilibrium system shift to make more reactants.

Explanation:

Le Châtelier's principle states that when there is an dynamic equilibrium, and this equilibrium is disturbed by an external factor, the equilibrium will be shifted in the direction that can cancel the effect of the external factor to reattain the equilibrium.

Removing reactant:

Removing reactant will decrease the concentration of the reactants side, so the reaction will be shifted to the left side to suppress the decrease in the concentration of reactants.

so, removing some of the reactants will shift the system to make more reactants.
