Can't tell you exactly as I performed this mod once, years ago. However, that amount is revealed as you move the steering rack upward. Before starting, take a pic of the factory steering u-joint assembly to establish the factory spacing.
Before moving the steering rack, loosen the steering u-joint clamp so the steering shaft moves with the rack and into the u-joint (keep steering wheel straight ahead). Take another pic. The difference between the first and last pic will show how much to remove. You may have to trim more if the relocated rack still binds the steering shaft/u-joint. In addition, there are two u-joints in the steering shaft assembly that can accommodate some readjustment.
I would guess it's slightly less than the thickness of the rack spacers provided.
I can't speak for all "bump steer" kits on all 911 years/models. You should be comfortable knowing how much material to remove from the shaft(s) before continuing. Hope this helps.
