The module needs no .install file because it creates no table entry.
As far the system variables it uses, an install file will have no impact on that. To re-init these values to their 'manufacture' defaults, visit the module's config page. Otherwise, if you stop using the module, just disable it, and don't worry about a thing.
Shit, HOOK_uninstall can delete the variables entries used by a module.
Remove any tables or variables that the module sets.

amitaibuThis is incorrect - have a look in Devel module for example implementing http://api.drupal.org/api/function/variable_del in hook_uninstall().
