You can remove the spring but it would be a good idea to wire the weight so it is hanging down to make sure the valve stays open. Without a spring vibration or a good jolt could cause the weight to bounce. If the shaft is rusty or starts wanting to stick a bounce could move the weight enough to start closing the valve and cause problems. A bit of wire prevents the worry. Max and Kanter have springs if you do want to get it functional.
