In a word yes but the gains would be so small that you'd barely notice it. When it's off it is only drawing enough power to turn a bearing, which you can freely spin with your little finger. It only really effects performance when you turn it on and it engages with the pump.

Wow. I wonder how much my spare wheel weighs, I bet thats about 10-12kgs with the brace and bits. Better MPG, better WHP. Would be interesting reading if someone weighed and stripped a scoob and noted all the weights down, monitored MPG and performance differences.
