Every significant piece of hardware means another device driver, more drain on your batteries if your computer is a laptop, and more complexity to your system. If you upgrade your operating system, the old hardware may or may not be supported and it's another roadblock to upgrading.

If you are sure you don't need a particular piece of hardware and doubt that you will use it in the future, and it's not difficult to remove, then it's a good idea to remove it. On the other hand, if you would need to open up your computer and do surgery to remove the hardware and are at all worried about whether or not you might mess up your computer, you may be better off leaving it alone.
