If you think about it, that doesn't pass the sanity check. DC voltage
sources are what determine the bias conditions, and DC source branches
must be there for the bias solution. And they are not removed during the
AC iterations. I think you are misinterpreting something you read.
The best way to confirm this, though, is to try it.
