can i remove visual studio after sql 2005 install?

it's been a while since i installed sql2005, but doesn't visual studio get installed at the same time? all the servers that i installed sql2005 on have visual studio on them too. the sysadmins think having VS on the servers is a security risk and want to remove it. if we remove VS from the servers, will that impact SQL Server 2005?

If you have the SQL Server 2005 tools installed you can not remove Visual Studio from the server. The SQL Server 2005 tools are based on the Visual Studio IDE making it required to have the tools.
