I had the SAI pump replaced on my '95 900s 2.3i about 1.5 years ago. I finally did it because I was tired of the whistling/hooting noise it was making. I replaced the valve myself first (the part wasn't more than $50) but that didn't solve the problem, so I had the pump replaced and I'm sure I didn't pay more than $300 for the entire operation at an independent shop.
My understanding is that it won't really hurt the car if that system isn't replaced, the catalytic converter just won't be able to do its job as effectively before the car is warmed up. At that time I had asked what would happen if I just disconnected/removed the pump, and I was told that the Check Engine light would have been on all the time.
