I agree with the others. Unless you are already near the limit then no links need to be removed. If the wheel is all the way back in the track ends then removal of a link may be required.

Keep in mind that the rim will move toward the rear of the bike. If running a rear brake then check to make sure the pads still contact the brake track properly and that they don't rub against the tire. Adjusting pad position may be required.
