Not likely, as I've never worked with a ps2. But I DO know that if its like an av out or controller port, its just contacts.

if you do it very carefully it shouldn't break your ps2.

however, taking your ps2 apart in the first place is almost like asking it to break (in my experience)

It would work. I don't see why you'd remove it but you could if you wanted to. (It's for audio out. None of my 80s stereo hardware accepts it, but big, new, expensive stuff does.)
