Well, kinda, sorta. The spring, although not under the load of the vehicle remains under load.
It is safe to remove as both you and I have advised. However, the fellow needs to realize the spring will "let go" when one side is released from the perch. Although it can't go anywhere, it can surprise a guy not familiar with this task.
