Yes it will but only to a minor degree. I doubt that you'll really feel any power increase but it will free up a little bit of weight along wtih some rotational mass.
Anything helps but keep in mind that if you remove the power steering, you'll have to couple up your return line with the feed line so you won't lose any fluid from the steering rack.
The last two cars I've owned I've removed the power steering. On one car, it just went out, and on the other car, did so for weight reduction while cleaning up the engine compartment.
I've thought about doing the same with the Cavy for better feedback in the steering while losing a little bit of weight.
If you do take out your power steering, give us a review of the steering after it's done.
