No.

-1 is the default swap priority when none is specified.  It only makes 
any difference when you have multiple swaps (as was the case before you 
got rid of the ramswap)  It's used to tell the system which swap space 
to use first, and flow over into the next highest priority when that one 
is full.  (or you can have multiple swaps with the same priority to 
distribute the load between them)
