Not really since electrical load is pretty light. That figure was for accessory load removal, such as power steering delete, vacuum pump delete, belt driven water pump delete.
One of these days when working on air compressors I need to quantify how much power it takes just to turn a belt on and idler pulley. I have read that it can be up to 1hp but I really doubt that.
