Not a lot. Probably about the same as dumping your spare tire.

Do you currently have any drive shaft issues? Vibration?

You will gain a bit due to less weight but a drive shaft doesn't weigh that much. Again, you will probably experience a limited benefit but it isn't going to send you down to the track racing anytime soon!!!

gearing is probably the most bang for the buck acceleration mod.

add a cold air and e-fans to help mpgs after gearing.

it'll probably get you calling AAA or a tow company too.
