The low power used in the WiFi unit would be unlikely to damage the output stage without an antenna attached, that's only a problem for transmitters that put out significant power, we're talking many watts.

I have a stack of "no more wireless" wireless routers that would disagree with you.  They either had the antenna broke off or not connected at all. These routers were rated to out put anywhere from 65 to 100 milliwatts of power and are now in the single digits or zero. Some still work if you are willing to stand within 5 feet of the router.

As I mentioned I had disabled the wifi.  If this is done I don't see how removing the antenna can cause a problem

 I must have missed the part where you disabled the wireless transmitter. Blocking MAC addresses doesn't actually turn off the wireless transmitter on the WIU. If the Wi-Fi light on the WIU is lit, the transmitter is still operating.
