Two dangers with running without the S/A:

1: You could start a fire.

2: Water could settle in there, which could cause it to rust out over time.

It won't harm your engine, won't affect reliability, and from what I've heard and experienced, won't give you any more power, it just makes it louder. Check out the dyno runs at http://www.geocities.com/~gtthunder/ to see for yourself (there's one with the S/A removed at http://www.geocities.com/~gtthunder/400.jpg).
