Hello....

Does deletion of the 'sa' password cause application issues? I'm considering removal of this account (and creating another account/login) with the same priviledges as the 'sa' account. Any recommendations/validations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

just change the sa password to something not too obvious(mix letters and numbers)

"I'm considering removal of this account"

You can't remove the SA account. As tuenty says, put a rediculously long and complex password on it, write it down and lock it in the safe!
