The more I look at the final version of E1L2, the more I think it's one of the worst levels in the entire game.
They really should have kept the pool room and the OJ room linked together and the garage looked amazing.

I think that's a little harsh. Knowing how the enemies react when they see you, the original OJ bar scene would have been a mess. Having the solid wall there helps break up the action, especially when you get the red key and the pig cops come in from around the wall.
Entering through the garage just adds time for no reason. Better to just throw you into it when the elevator hits the ground.
The dressing room makes more sense, and they could have kept that in the final build as you work your way backstage.
