Probably, as long as it isn't dependant on the connection. But if you are gonna desolder it then you may as well just do the wire thing. Desolder the speaker then see if the board works without it, if not add a small resistor acoss the connections and see what it does.
But its more than likely it wont need the speaker connection.
Sorry about purposly confusing you up there
