    Yes, it will also be removed from Google's listing. But not immediately, it will take some time. The Google Spider will visit your site, see it is offline, and come back two more times on a later time. If it is still gone, it will be deleted from the listings.

    But, if the two sites you have are similar, why not put a 301 redirect in place for the one you would like to delete? This will transfer all its GoogleJuice to the other domain...
