you need to remove it befor it hits the membrain or the chlorine will destroy your membrain to do this two carbon block filters in series befor the membrain should work nice.. this is what I am using now .. I have a sediment filter then two carbon block and them my membrains and finaly a DI.

I think the pre carbon takes out the chlorinebut not the ammonia....... the post carbon filter (special ammonia absorbing) takes out the ammonia. The RO membrane does not do too much with the ammonia (I guess the molecules are too small for the membrane). I can't remember off hand but I think the Spectrapure website explains it.
